Hollywood is a suburb of Los Angeles, California. The film industry started in Hollywood in the early 20th Century and soon this suburb became home to many great movie stars. In the early days of Hollywood cinema there were four major film companies (Columbia, Paramount, RKO, Warner Bros.) and several minor companies as well as rental studios. A pioneer of American motion pictures was the director D.W. Griffith. By the 1920s Hollywood was world famous for its productions, promoting stars like Jean Harlow, Judy Garland and Marlene Dietrich. Between 1930 and 1945 the city and the entire area changed into a huge entertainment factory controlled by two giant studios, Metro Goldwyn Mayer Inc. (MGM) and Paramount. World famous are the Hollywood Sign, the Sunset Boulevard and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When TV was developed, the Hollywood studios began to decline, because fewer people went to the cinemas and making movies also became more expensive. However, TV studios and music production companies moved to Hollywood, continuously changing the character of boomtown. Today movies are still made in Hollywood and Universal Studios – where one can watch the stars live on set – are one of California’s greatest tourist attractions. American movies are watched by a world wide audience shaping our ideas about the American Way of Life. Unfortunately, for many people this is the only source to learn about the United States, which often creates an unrealistic, distorted view of America.
