Hollywood is situated in the north-west of Los Angels, California. It has been the centre of the American film industry. It has an ideal sunny climate and a varied terrain which are most suited for film industry.
Supposedly one of the richest and most glamorous places on earth, Hollywood's greatest days were in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1908 one of its first feature films The Count of Monte Cristo was completed. It was short in Chicago. By the end of 1911, more than 15 film producing companies had sprung upon the area. Some of the famous film personalities in Hollywood, before world war 1,have been Charlie Chaplin, Samuel Goldwyn, Douglas Fairbanks and Cecil B.Mille.
The 20th century-Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount Pictures, Columbia, Warner Brothers, etc.,were among its greatest film producing companies.
However with the advent of talkies, many famous stars of the silent era were virtually forced to retire. But the greatest threat to Hollywood came with the introduction of television in the late 1940s. Many film companies had to pull down their shutters.
