Hooray for Hollywood!
On February 1, 1887, 160 acres of land was officially registered by Harvey Wilcox as "Hollywood." Wilcox envisioned the land as the perfect site for a utopian-like community for devout Christians, where they could live a highly moral life free of vices such as alcohol (Wilcox was a prohibitionist). In the early 1910s, the fledgling motion-picture industry began growing exponentially, as moviemakers found their ideal setting in the mild, sunny climate and varied terrain of Southern California. As the years went by, Harvey Wilcox’s dreams of a sober, conservative religious community faded even further into the background, as Hollywood became known throughout the world as the gilded center of an industry built on fantasy, fame and glamour. In recognition of this historic day, which of these "Hollywood films" do you consider the star?
