I just realized this wonderful place will be 100 years old next year and still going strong!
I watched movies as a child and teenager and after there like:
King of Kings 1961
and
A Summer place1959 with Troy Donahue and Sandra Dee there. And many more like South Pacific 1958 with Mitzi Gaynor. We moved to Glendale which is right next door to Hollywood in 1956 when I was 8 years old and my Aunt was an Actress who lived in the Hollywood hills then too.
