Gene Tierney
Gene Tierney was an actor of note, and one of Hollywood's most beautiful. Her classic roles included The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and Leave Her to Heaven. However, her most famous role was that of Laura, which earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress. Tierney was also well-known for her tragic personal story. In addition to her many film roles, she suffered from depression.
Alan Walbridge Ladd
Actor Alan Walbridge Ladd was raised in California, but was born in Hot Springs Arkansas. His parents, Lithuanian immigrants from Lithuania, worked as painters at FBO Studios. Ladd began his formal education in North Hollywood High School on February 18, 1930. He excelled in swimming, diving, and was a part of theater productions while still in high school. He was the "Koko" character in The Mikado during his senior year. He also appeared as Marinella in the aquatic show.
Eugene Curran Kelly
Star of the musical comedy "Titanic", the Year of the Rat, was one of the zodiac signs. Virgos pay attention to the smallest details and are extremely intelligent. They are also very compassionate. They are known for their ability to be analytical and methodical, but they also have a strong sense loyalty and show care for the members of their pack. Virgos have the unique feeling of experiencing everything the first time.
Hedy Lamour
Hedy Larrar, 1940s film star who was also considered one of the most beautiful people in the world, held two dark secrets: her sexuality (and her life as Hollywood actress). While neither were revealed to the public during her lifetime, her sexual life is now a legendary tale. This documentary by Bombshell features Susan Sarandon as director Peter Safran exploring the extraordinary life of this remarkable woman.
Judy Garland
Judy Garland is one the most famous actresses from the 1940s. MGM signed her first contract without ever having to take a screen test. The studio was not sure how to market Garland at thirteen years of age. She was older than the typical child star, but was still too young for an adult role. After numerous unsuccessful projects, she eventually achieved success when she teamed with Mickey Rooney to create Love Finds Andy Hardy.

How much does Hollywood make per year?
Production costs on average for a movie are around $100 million. If you produced ten movies per year for a decade you would have enough money to purchase a small country.

If that doesn't sound like fun, then you must be insane.
Is the Hollywood Walk of Fame free?
Yes! Yes! However, if you want to take photos, you'll need to get a permit first.It costs $15 per person.

Why don't more filmmakers use crowdfunding websites like Indiegogo or Kickstarter?
Crowdfunding platforms are fantastic because they allow you direct contact with potential investors.
But most filmmakers don't think they're qualified to ask for money. They feel that they need someone else to vouch for them.
And since they haven't proven themselves yet, they don't think anyone should invest in them.
Instead, they spend many months working on the project in hopes that someone will notice.
Then they realize that they didn't properly prepare for the launch of their campaign.
Instead of receiving thousands upon thousands of dollars, the recipients end up with a handful donations.
