HOLLYWOOD AND WEST HOLLYWOOD
Hollywood is more a state of mind than a glamorous destination, but most visitors feel inclined to find that out for themselves. That said, there are a few worthy Tinseltown excursions. Along the gritty length of HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD, remnants of the Golden Age are crammed in between kitschy souvenir shops and fronted by dubious-looking loiterers.

However, one genuine attraction is the HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME, which runs along Hollywood Boulevard between La Brea Avenue and Vine Street, and then along Vine down to Sunset Boulevard. Along "The Walk," the names of luminaries and super-luminaries in the film, radio, and television industries are commemorated by stars set in the polished
mauve granite sidewalk. Another favorite is MANN'S CHINESE THEATRE (formerly Grauman's; 6925 Hollywood Boulevard, near Sycamore Avenue; 323/464-8186), where visitors may still match their hands and feet to the cement casts in the courtyard belonging to greats such as Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Joan Crawford, Kirk and
Michael Douglas, and Mel Gibson. Mann will soon have even more famous company when the upcoming home to the Academy Awards, the Academy Theater and mall complex, is completed (it's scheduled to open in 2000). However, Mann's merits alone make it a visit-worthy beacon of authentic Hollywoodness surrounded by a sea of schlock. The theater,
with its murals, sparkling chandeliers, and carved-wood accents, was the site of countless Hollywood premieres in decades past; it remains pristine and is one of the most enjoyable spots in town to catch a flick. The EL CAPITAN THEATER (across Hollywood Boulevard at 6838; 323/467- 7674) is another of the grand old movie palaces, almost as famous as
Grauman's/Mann's, and it's been recently restored to its original grandeur.

Some budgetary corners were obviously cut at the new and interactive HOLLYWOOD ENTERTAINMENT MUSEUM (7021 Hollywood Boulevard; 323/465-7900), but it does give visitors an education in pre- and post-production phases of movie and television filming. Visitors can "foley" (add sound effects to) and edit pieces of film and video, enjoy
make-up demonstrations, view an extensive collection of props and costumes, and sprawl in the captain's chair on the bridge of the starship Enterprise. Across the street from the museum, the recently reconstituted grand old HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT HOTEL (7000 Hollywood Boulevard; 323/466-7000) still reigns supreme at the corner of Sycamore
Avenue. The open and airy upstairs gallery is lined with Hollywood yesteryear photos. L.A.'s latest historical attraction, the HOLLYWOOD HISTORY MUSEUM (1660 N Hollywood Boulevard; 323/464-7776) is scheduled to open in late 1999. Located in the elegant Deco Max Factor building, it's devoted to the preservation and veneration of the film industry. Its four-story, 45,000-square-foot facility holds a Smithsonian like collection of film memorabilia representing all eras and genres. A more current exploration of the film world is available with a tour of PARAMOUNT STUDIOS (5555 Melrose Avenue; 323/956-1777). To the
north and visible from all unobstructed mountain vistas, the "HOLLYWOOD" SIGN is perhaps the town's most recognized landmark.

The community of WEST HOLLYWOOD stretches east to west from Fairfax Avenue to Robertson Boulevard and north to south from Sunset Boulevard to Melrose Avenue. The area along Santa Monica Boulevard and just north and south of it is sometimes referred to as "Boys Town" because it's packed with bars, restaurants, cafes, and shops that cater to
Los Angeles's gay scene. Architecture mavens may want to stop at the PACIFIC DESIGN CENTER (8687 Melrose Avenue at San Vicente Boulevard; 310/657-0800), near the border of Beverly Hills. Within this massive complex, constructed of brilliant green and blue glass, reside shops—many open to the public—full of the latest trends in home furnishings and design. The infamous SUNSET STRIP extends east to west along Sunset Boulevard from approximately La Cienega Boulevard to Robertson Boulevard. The shops are tres chic and ultra-expensive. The numerous OUTDOOR CAFES are great for people-watching and star sighting, and a lot of the club scene is located here.
