JANET HARDY-GOULD

      Hollywood

      HOLLYWOOD

      ‘Welcome to Hollywood, Mr Griffith.’ The film director D. W. Griffith liked the California village with its sunny weather, friendly people, and orange trees. ‘It’s a good place to make a movie,’ he thought, and soon the first movie, In Old California, was made. It was just seventeen minutes long.

      Just over a hundred years later, Hollywood is a very different place, but it’s still the home of the movies for millions of people. Hollywood means the stars, from Charlie Chaplin to Brad Pitt, from Vivien Leigh to Penélope Cruz. It means the Oscars, the big film studios, Disney, Hitchcock, and Spielberg. And even today, with films on DVD and on the Internet, Hollywood’s exciting story still goes on.
