Who HQ rolls out the red carpet for Where Is Hollywood?--the film
capital of the world.
Developed in the 1880s by Midwesterners looking for a sunny winter
getaway, Hollywood was a small housing development outside still-small
Los Angeles. But everything changed in the early 1900s when filmmakers
from New York flocked to the area, where they could make movies without
having to pay Thomas Edison's patent fee. It didn't hurt that the
weather was perfect, too. Readers will take a journey from the Golden
Age of Hollywood to the present-day film industry, learning all about
what turned lush farmland into Tinseltown.
