But the erection of the famed Hollywood sign in 1923 marked the start of another phase, one still with us today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that decade, a real estate development group, one of whose principal backers was Los Angeles Times publisher Harry Chandler, built a large sign – essentially a billboard – on an unnamed mountain between the Los Angeles basin and the San Fernando Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hollywoodland,” the sign read. Its 40,000 blinking light bulbs advertised a new housing development built to accommodate the city’s surging population, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.laalmanac.com/population/po02.php\" rel=\"noopener\">more than doubled\u003c/a> during the 1920s to become the fifth largest in the country, as the city drew people from all over the country for its weather, open spaces and jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Hollywood \u003ca href=\"https://www.discoverlosangeles.com/blog/historical-timeline-los-angeles\">had been absorbed\u003c/a> into Los Angeles only a decade earlier. At the time, it was a wealthy area that had grudgingly accepted the movie business. Many mansions dotted the hillsides below the sign, and utopian communities like \u003ca href=\"https://la.curbed.com/2014/5/22/10099768/the-creation-of-beachwood-canyons-theosophist-dreamland-1\" rel=\"noopener\">Krotona\u003c/a>, the U.S. headquarters of a mystical organization called the Theosophical Society, had sprung up in the foothills and on the flats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Accordingly, early advertising for Hollywoodland emphasized the development’s exclusivity. It would offer an escape from the smog, dirt and unwelcome neighbors of downtown Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Saving the sign\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Because the sign holds such a prominent place in the nation’s cultural imagination today, it may be surprising to learn that it wasn’t until fairly recently that it achieved its iconic status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1930s and 1940s, the sign makes an appearance in only a few of the movies that were about Hollywood or the movie industry. Other Hollywood institutions, like the \u003ca href=\"http://brownderbyhollywood.com/about.html\" rel=\"noopener\">Brown Derby restaurant\u003c/a>, tended to represent the film world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1940s, Los Angeles – as both city and symbol – started to change. A dense smog settled over the metropolis, which would be featured as the grim, shadowy setting of noir films like “\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038355/\" rel=\"noopener\">The Big Sleep\u003c/a>” and “\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036775/\" rel=\"noopener\">Double Indemnity\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sign – a little dingier, a little more unslightly – reflected the changing city. Since it was originally intended as an advertisement, few had considered its permanence or long-term significance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hillside where it had been built was dangerously steep; workers had cut the letters from thin sheet metal, which they tacked onto telephone poles.

The state’s temperate climate and natural springs, \u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=zm5oBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43&dq=california+health+destination+19th+century&source=bl&ots=gFkRyLbfW1&sig=5hWBgDNks80_z2mnZvn7ITx1a-o&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjW0tesscnZAhUBMqwKHcnRANAQ6AEITzAF#v=onepage&q=california%20health%20destination%2019th%20century&f=false\" rel=\"noopener\">guidebooks claimed\u003c/a>, possessed “restorative powers for weakened dispositions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s gold has since been drained, and the quest for perfect health has spread to rest of the country. But the erection of the famed Hollywood sign in 1923 marked the start of another phase, one still with us today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that decade, a real estate development group, one of whose principal backers was Los Angeles Times publisher Harry Chandler, built a large sign – essentially a billboard – on an unnamed mountain between the Los Angeles basin and the San Fernando Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hollywoodland,” the sign read. Its 40,000 blinking light bulbs advertised a new housing development built to accommodate the city’s surging population, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.laalmanac.com/population/po02.php\" rel=\"noopener\">more than doubled\u003c/a> during the 1920s to become the fifth largest in the country, as the city drew people from all over the country for its weather, open spaces and jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Hollywood \u003ca href=\"https://www.discoverlosangeles.com/blog/historical-timeline-los-angeles\">had been absorbed\u003c/a> into Los Angeles only a decade earlier. At the time, it was a wealthy area that had grudgingly accepted the movie business. Many mansions dotted the hillsides below the sign, and utopian communities like \u003ca href=\"https://la.curbed.com/2014/5/22/10099768/the-creation-of-beachwood-canyons-theosophist-dreamland-1\" rel=\"noopener\">Krotona\u003c/a>, the U.S. headquarters of a mystical organization called the Theosophical Society, had sprung up in the foothills and on the flats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Accordingly, early advertising for Hollywoodland emphasized the development’s exclusivity. It would offer an escape from the smog, dirt and unwelcome neighbors of downtown Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Saving the sign\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Because the sign holds such a prominent place in the nation’s cultural imagination today, it may be surprising to learn that it wasn’t until fairly recently that it achieved its iconic status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1930s and 1940s, the sign makes an appearance in only a few of the movies that were about Hollywood or the movie industry. Other Hollywood institutions, like the \u003ca href=\"http://brownderbyhollywood.com/about.html\" rel=\"noopener\">Brown Derby restaurant\u003c/a>, tended to represent the film world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1940s, Los Angeles – as both city and symbol – started to change. A dense smog settled over the metropolis, which would be featured as the grim, shadowy setting of noir films like “\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038355/\" rel=\"noopener\">The Big Sleep\u003c/a>” and “\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036775/\" rel=\"noopener\">Double Indemnity\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sign – a little dingier, a little more unslightly – reflected the changing city. Since it was originally intended as an advertisement, few had considered its permanence or long-term significance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hillside where it had been built was dangerously steep; workers had cut the letters from thin sheet metal, which they tacked onto telephone poles. Heavy winds could easily rip the letters away, and by the late 1940s, there had been so much deterioration that the city of Los Angeles proposed to tear it down, calling it a dangerous public nuisance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11652983\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11652983\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS27116_Hollywood-TC-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Color photo of the Hollywood sign with blue sky above\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS27116_Hollywood-TC-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS27116_Hollywood-TC-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS27116_Hollywood-TC-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS27116_Hollywood-TC-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS27116_Hollywood-TC-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS27116_Hollywood-TC-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS27116_Hollywood-TC-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS27116_Hollywood-TC-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS27116_Hollywood-TC-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Hollywood Sign after a 2005 refurbishment \u003ccite>(Photo by David Livingston/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That dismissive view of the sign began to change in 1949, when the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hollywood-sign-sold-for-450k/\">told the city that it would take over its ownership and maintenance\u003c/a>.
