"Until 1922, this building housed the Hollywood Theatre. Opened in 1914, the 700-seat cinema showed nickelodeon shorts - even before the silent films. It remains the oldest extant movie house in H'wood"

"The building's namesake, Max Factor, is credited with transforming actress Jean Harlow into a platinum blonde."

"Legend has it that Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino and Douglas Fairbanks raced each other down Hollywood Blvd on horseback; the loser had to pick up the dinner tab at Musso & Frank's!"

"You can get a great photo of the Hollywood Sign at the Hollywood & Highland Center after sunset."

"Gene Autry is the only person to have been honored with all five possible stars, for his contribution in each of the 5 categories: Motion Picture, Television, Recording, Radio, and Live Theater."
