The Hollywood sign in the hills that line the northern border of Los Angeles is a famous
landmark recognized the world over. The white-painted, 50-foot-high sheet mental letters can
be seen from great distances across the Los Angeles basin.
The sign was not constructed, as one might suppose, by the movie business as a means of
celebrating the importance of Hollywood to this industry; instead, it was first constructed in
1923 as means of advertising homes for sale in a 500-acre-housing subdivision in a part of Los
Angeles called “Hollywood land”. The sign that was constructed at time, of course, said
“Hollywood land”. Over the years, people began referring to the area by the short version
“Hollywood” and after the sign and its site were donated to the city in 1945, the last four
letters were removed.
The sign suffered for years of disrepair, and in 1973, it needed to be completely replaced,
at a cost of $27,700 per letter. Various celebrities were instrumental in helping to raise needed
funds. Rock star Alice Cooper, for example, bought an O in memory of Groucho Marx, and
Hugh Hefner of Playboy fame held a benefit party to raise the money for Y. The construction
of the new sign was finally completed in 1978.
