Hollywood is just another neighborhood in America, or at least it was when it began. It started as a small agricultural community, and in just over 100 years, sat as one of the most influential cultural landmarks in the world. Today, it dominates all forms of media, with thousands moving there each year to figure out if their star is on the rise or destined to burn out. Today on the Gems of History, we’ll figure out how Hollywood became the nameplate for film and celebrity and discuss some of the controversy along the way.
