HOLLYWOOD TO OBSERVE 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF HOLLYWOOD SIGN
HOLLYWOOD, CA—DECEMBER 9, 2021- HOLLYWOOD is often cited as the heart of not just the entertainment industry but of the City of Los Angeles itself. It represents possibility, hope and excitement to all those who live in Los Angeles and the millions of people who visit the City of Angels every year. And as the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower are to New York City and Paris, the nine letters staggered atop Mount Lee are an iconic and ever-present reminder that the Hollywood Sign continues to represent the pursuit and fulfillment of dreams to every generation.
In 2023, the Hollywood Sign celebrates its 100th Year Anniversary. The current sign is actually the third sign erected at that site. The first sign, which said “Hollywoodland” was erected in 1923. A second sign was built in 1948 by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce that said “Hollywood”. The current sign was erected in 1978 and built to modern engineering standards.
The worldwide licensing agency Evolution USA, which works with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, is exploring ways to appropriately celebrate this historic occasion.
