Hollywood

To many people, the word Hollywood has two meanings. 1.. Second, Hollywood is also the US movie industry.

Hollywood was just a farmland at the beginning of this century. Early American movies were made in other places; for example, in New York and Chicago.

In 1917 a director was making a movie in Chicago. Because of cold weather, he couldn‟t finish the movie. 2.. And there he found just the weather and scenery he needed to finish his movie. The director realized that southern California was the perfect place for making movies. The next year his company built a movie studio in Hollywood. 3._. Before long nearly all important American movie studios were in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

The next thirty years were Hollywood‟s greatest years. Thousands of movies were made, most by a few large and powerful studios. 4..

Hollywood also reached its high point in these years. Many famous movie stars, like Bette Davis and Clark Gable, lived in Hollywood.

5.. More movies are made outside of Hollywood. Many studios have moved. The movie stars have also moved to areas like Beverly Hills and Malibu.

But visitors to Hollywood today can go to the famous Chinese Theatre and see the footprints and autographs of movie stars. They can go down the Walk of Fame, on Hollywood Boulevard,

and see the golden stars in the sidewalk.
