movies, television, glamour

Hollywood, California began to attract motion-picture companies in the early 1900s thanks to the climate, geography, and protection from lawsuits for infringing on Thomas Edison’s motion picture patents. Today, it’s home to several major film and television companies, plus landmarks like the Walk of Fame and iconic Hollywood sign.
