The Hollywood & Highland Center is a shopping mall and entertainment complex at Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue in the Hollywood district in Los Angeles. The 387000sqft center also includes TCL Chinese Theatre (formerly Grauman's Chinese Theatre, and Mann's Chinese Theatre) and the Dolby Theatre (formerly known as the Kodak Theatre), home to the Academy Awards. The historic site was once the home of the famed Hollywood Hotel. Located in the heart of Hollywood, along the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it is among the most visited tourist destinations in Los Angeles.The complex sits just across Hollywood Blvd. from the El Capitan Theatre and offers views of the Hollywood Hills and Hollywood Sign to the north, Santa Monica Mountains to the west and downtown Los Angeles to the east. The centerpiece of the complex is a massive three-story courtyard inspired by the Babylon scene from the D.W. Griffith film Intolerance. The developer of the shopping center built part of the archway and two pillars with elephant sculptures on the capitals, just as seen in the film, to the same full scale. It gives visitors an idea of how large the original set must have been.

The Jim Henson Company Lot is a studio property located just south of the southeast corner of La Brea Avenue and Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. It was built in 1917 by silent and sound film star Charlie Chaplin.After being sold by Chaplin in 1953, the property went through several changes in ownership and has served at various times as Kling Studios, the Red Skelton Studios, the shooting location for the Adventures of Superman and Perry Mason television series, and as the headquarters for A&M Records and The Jim Henson Company. In 1969, it was designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.HistoryConstructionIn October 1917, Charlie Chaplin announced plans to build his own film studio at the southeast corner of La Brea and Sunset Boulevard. In his autobiography, Chaplin described the decision as follows:"At the end of the Mutual contract, I was anxious to get started with First National, but we had no studio. I decided to buy land in Hollywood and build one. The site was the corner of Sunset and La Brea and had a very fine ten-room house and five acres of lemon, orange and peach trees. We built a perfect unit, complete with developing plant, cutting room, and offices."Chaplin purchased the site from R.S. McClellan, who lived on the site and had a large grove of orange trees on the property. The lot had 300ft of frontage on Sunset and 600ft on La Brea, extending south to De Longpre. Chaplin announced he would make his home on the northern part of the property, and build his own motion picture plant on the south part of the property, cornering at La Brea and De Longpre. Chaplin's plans for six English-style buildings, "arranged as to give the effect of a picturesque English village street," were published in the Los Angeles Times in October 1917. The plans were prepared by the Milwaukee Building Company (Meyer & Holler), and the total investment was estimated to be approximately $100,000. The layout of the buildings was described by the Los Angeles Times in 2002 as a "fairy-tale cottage complex." Another writer has described the style as "eccentric Peter Pan architecture."
Hollywood Masonic Temple, now known as the El Capitan Entertainment Centre, is a building on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The building, built in 1921, was designed by architect John C. Austin, also noted as the lead architect of the Griffith Observatory. The Masons operated the temple until 1982, when they sold the building after several years of declining membership. The 34,000-square-foot building was then converted into a theater and nightclub, and ownership subsequently changed several times, until it was bought by the Walt Disney Company's Buena Vista Pictures Distribution in 1998 for Buena Vista Theatres, Inc.Buena Vista Theatres uses it as a promotion tool by creating themed environments to go along with movie premieres. The center is also rented out for industry parties, premieres, record releases and product roll-outs. Since 2003, the building's theater has been the home of Jimmy Kimmel Live!.The building is rumored to have had a secret tunnel to Grauman's Chinese Theater that would allow movie stars to evade mobs at movie premieres. If it existed it is possible that the Red Line subway construction destroyed the tunnel.HistoryThe Masonic TempleIn 1922, the Hollywood Lodge of the Masons relocated from their existing lodge on the current site of the Dolby Theatre. The construction of the new three-story building was led by lodge master Charles E. Toberman, who was responsible for the Hollywood Bowl, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Roosevelt Hotel and the Max Factor Building. The original building cost $176,678, with a sum of $56,421 allotted to furniture and fixtures and $36,295 for the purchase of the lot. Toberman and fellow member Charles Boag formed a Hollywood Masonic Club to partly finance the building offering membership subscriptions for $100.

オーシャン・ウェイ・レコーディング は、カリフォルニア州ハリウッドとテネシー州ナッシュビルにある録音スタジオの系列名である。これまでここでレコーディングされたアルバムが数々の音楽賞を獲得していることで、レコーディング業界では名の知られたスタジオである。1952年に建設された前身のユナイテッド・ウェスタン・スタジオは、レイ・チャールズ版の「愛さずにはいられない」や、ザ・ビーチ・ボーイズの「グッド・ヴァイブレーション」、フランク・シナトラの「イット・ワズ・ア・ベリー・グッド・イヤー」、ママス&パパスの「夢のカリフォルニア」など、1960年代から1970年代にかけて多くのメジャー作をレコーディングした。ビル・パトナムがスタジオの最初のオーナーであった。1985年にアレン・サイズがパトナムよりスタジオを買い取り、オーシャン・ウェイ・レコーディングへと改称した。1999年に元々サンセット通り6000に建てられていたスタジオ施設はチェロ・レコーディング・スタジオに売却されるが、サイズは隣りのサンセット通り6050の建物を保有していた。その後、2つのスタジオ(1988年にシャーマンオークスのレコード・ワン、1997年にミュージック・ロウでオープンしたオーシャン・ウェイ/ナッシュビル)がオーシャン・ウェイ・ファミリーに加わった。オーシャン・ウェイのナッシュビルの施設は、後にベルモント大学に売却された。オーシャン・ウェイ・レコーディングは現在ハリウッドとシャーマンオークスの2つの拠点でビジネスを展開している。オーシャン・ウェイ・オーディオは高級モニター・スピーカーを製造販売している。スティーヴン・ミラーとパートナーシップを組んでいるオーシャン・ウェイ・ドラムスはプラグイン音源を製作している。スタジオの著名な利用者にはポーラ・アブドゥルや、AC/DC、スティーヴ・ペリー、ウイスキータウン、デボラ・アレン、ボブ・シーガー、トーリ・エイモス、B.B.キング、ビッフィ・クライロ、ボン・ジョヴィ、B'z、エリック・クラプトン、ジョー・コッカー、マイケル・ジャクソン、ポール・マッカートニー、ノー・ダウト、カウンティング・クロウズ、ドクター・ドレー、ボブ・ディラン、フィッシュボーン、エイミー・グラント、グリーン・デイ、エルトン・ジョン、マイルス・デイヴィス、ウェイロン・ジェニングス、ウィーザー、R・ケリー、k.d.ラング、ルイス・ミゲル、マナー、エミネム、ミシェル・ンデグオチェロ、ウィリー・ネルソン、アーロン・ネヴィル、トム・ペティ、レディオヘッド、レッド・ホット・チリ・ペッパーズ、R.E.M.、リチャード・マークス、ローリング・ストーンズ、ラッシュ、ジョー・サンプル、ロッド・スチュワート、バーブラ・ストライサンド、トゥール、トラヴィス、ザ・ウォールフラワーズ、XTC、安室奈美恵、アヴリル・ラヴィーン、マーズ・ヴォルタ、
He’s been called “the troubadour of the nude,” “the impresario of feminine epidermis,” “the elongated purveyor of feminine pulchritude,” and “the most notorious connoisseur of female flesh in the history of show business.” Earl Carroll was Florenz Ziegfeld’s only real competition in the late 1920s and early 1930s, but he left Broadway under a cloud of scandal and bankruptcy. Looking for a fresh start and determined to reinvent himself in Hollywood, he opened the colossal Earl Carroll Theatre at 6230 Sunset Boulevard on December 26, 1938. The 1000-seat “entertainment palace” and supper club quickly became known for the glory and gaiety of its grandiose productions featuring casts of 60 girls performing atop a double revolving stage. Guests were dazzled by more than six thousand feet of blue and gold neon and massive, 30-foot illuminated columns. For $1000, VIP memberships to Carroll’s Inner Circle guaranteed a lifetime cover charge and a reserved seating. While it was Carroll’s behind-the-scenes puppeteering that powered the operation, it was ravishing beauty Beryl Wallace whose face characterized the Earl Carroll Theatre to the world. Not only was she the star showgirl in Carroll’s lavish musical comedy revues known as “Vanities,” Beryl was his longtime devoted companion. “Thru these portals pass the most beautiful girls in the world,” the theatre’s celebrated slogan, encompassed a 24-foot neon silhouette portrait of the stunning chosen showgirl. Illuminating Sunset Boulevard, just east of Vine, the sign soon became one of Hollywood’s most famous landmarks. Following World War II and nearly a decade in Hollywood, Earl Carroll unveiled his plans for $15 million facility what promised to be the “World’s Largest Motion Picture Theatre and Broadcasting Studios” to be erected a half a block east of the existing structure on Sunset. Larger than Radio City Music Hall, the plans for the 7,000 seat theatre touted a 130-foot proscenium, three revolving stages, and an ice rink adjacent to a water tank, purportedly so that both Sonja Henie and Esther Williams could perform simultaneously with more than 100 dancing girls. Tragedy struck on June 17, 1948 when United Airlines Flight 624 crashed in Pennsylvania. Earl Carroll and Beryl Wallace were among the 39 passengers killed instantly. In true Carroll “show must go on” fashion, the grieving showgirls took the stage the following night presenting the Earl Carroll Vanities with Virginia Dew, Beryl’s stand-in, going on in her place. Carroll and Wallace were interred together in the Garden of Memory at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. After operating in the red for more than a year, the Vanities came to a close on October 15, 1949 and the theatre went dark. The theatre reopened in 1953 as the Moulin Rouge nightclub and went through a number of incarnations (inlcuding the Hullabaloo, Kaleidoscope, Aquarius and Longhorn Theatres) before becoming the west coast production hub for Nickelodeon in 1997. Nickelodeon on Sunset is currently the production headquarters for the network’s "Victorious" television series. The legendary “Thru these portals…” neon sign is no more, but in 1993 the Museum of Neon Art created a replica of Beryl Wallace’s neon portrait. The replica is now on display and seen high overhead each day by thousands at the Universal City Walk at Universal Studios Hollywood.
