ccording to Los Angeles Tourism, we welcomed 50 million visitors to our city in 2018. Beginning in May we start to notice more visitors strolling along the Walk of Fame. It’s reported that last year, there were about 25 million that came to Hollywood. In my perfect world, every visitor experiences the wonder and allure of this place we call Hollywood. And, believe me, I know that’s not easy.

We are a working town made up of much more than our famous boulevard, so it takes a bit of sleuthing to discover all our hidden nooks and crannies.

Samantha Halbreich did just that in finding Boobietrap, a delightful smorgasbord of performers that titillate and enhance their audience on Wednesday evenings. Each week there’s a new offering under the direction of ringmaster Scot Nery. Samantha captures the fun and excitement that awaits should you venture behind the shops to find them.

On your way you might want to stop for a pizza or some classic Italian fare just steps from Boobietrap and wish Frank Miceli and his crew a Happy 70th Anniversary. Founded by his father in 1949, Miceli’s has been a staple just steps off the boulevard on Las Palmas. Inside, under raffia-covered empty chianti bottles, relax in booths saved from 1920’s era Hollywood’s Pig ‘n Whistle when it was “modernized” and converted to a retail store somewhere in the distant past. You’ll read all about its history as Michael Darling shares its unique Hollywood story.

This is so much part of Hollywood’s allure. In the midst of a building boom not seen in many decades, you can find many remnants of its past going back 100 years, decade by decade up to today. Venture off the beaten path to the true center of action several blocks south of the famed boulevard to the Hollywood Media District. Dotted here and there among the neighborhoods are production companies, film studios and names recognized only if you read credits at the end of movies and TV shows. There are art galleries, live theatres and lively small restaurants and pubs. This is where creativity happens. This is the real Hollywood.

Be adventurous. Go beyond the obvious and you’ll find what you are looking for—the real Hollywood, our town.

Hollywood Sign Built on Mt. Lee in 1923 for $21,000 as a temporary sign to promote Hollywoodland real estate development, the 50-foot-high letters were made of wood and with 20-watt bulbs around each letter.

Recently, a global fundraising campaign to preserve 138 acres adjacent to the world-famous sign reached its goal.

hile some visitors to Hollywood may see Hollywood Boulevard as representing this town—it is its “Main Street,”—the area that gave Hollywood its fame and fortune is south of the popular Walk of Fame corridor in the Media District several blocks to the south and east of Vine Street to Van Ness.

As Hollywood grew in the 1920s, land where the first movie studios were built was subdivided and sold to make way for shopping centers and housing developments. Paramount Pictures moved to Melrose Avenue, RenMar, Raleigh and other studios and production companies sprung up to serve the growing industry. Eastman Kodak, Mole Richardson lighting, Glen Glenn Sound and Technicolor to name a few.

Today, a new generation is moving in with different needs and facing the challenge to retain its relevance in a changing industry, to maintain and do business in an increasingly altered environment while remaining vibrant and committed to providing entertainment for the world. To respond to myths that movies weren’t made in Hollywood anymore, key businesses serving the industry took action.

In

2000, the Hollywood Media Business Improvement District (BID) was created. Comprised of 220 commercial property owners, this was no easy task. Extensive outreach and a vote by a majority of these owners was required. Each property owner pays a proportional share of the one million dollar annual budget based on gross building square footage and lot size. Public safety patrols, maintenance and community improvements use eighty five percent of the budget. The BID is renewed by vote every five years.

The mission of the Hollywood Media District is to enhance the security, cleanliness, beautification and commercial desirability of the area. Through the improvement of the area, local studios attract television, film and commercial production companies, post production firms expand services, restaurants and live theatre thrive, and the neighborhood is a safe and pleasant environment for residents and employees.

With a focus on its history as well as emerging technology, the assets of the district are enhanced with new development at the Sunset Las Palmas Studio (formerly Hollywood Center Studio, Zoetrope) and the new Hollywood 959 is now the home of Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman’s recently formed Quibi or “quick bites” a video service that will stream 100 short high quality videos each week due to launch next April. According to Katzenberg and Whitman, Quibi will benefit from 5G mobile networks offering an “on the go” viewing experience catered to a millennial audience. .

As reported in Los Angeles Business Journal, Bill Humphrey, senior vice president for Sunset Studios at Hudson Pacific, commented “ The demand for spaces has significantly outpaced the stages. Compa-

nies are looking to lock down as many studios as they can.”

Certainly, adding to the demand is the new big gorilla in town, Netflix, which has leased over one million square feet of space throughout Hollywood and will occupy the Sunset Las Palmas new Harlowe building in addition to its facility at Hudson Properties Sunset Gower lot. It has also taken space at the Academy project under construction on Vine Street just south of Sunset.

Checking the dossiers of the facilities within the media district, the phrase “If these walls could talk,” comes to mind. The list of productions created in its Red Studios and recently renamed Sunset Las Palmas—formerly Hollywood Center Studios and Zeotrope—spans generations from silent to Golden Age to television and now digital offerings. From Harold Lloyd to LaLa Land, Charlie Chaplin to Francis Ford Coppola, there’s a dizzying array of names and productions. I Love Lucy, continues page 28

Miceli’s Turns 70

I

f you’ve ever enjoyed pizza in Los Angeles, you have Carmen Miceli to thank.

Before Miceli opened his namesake restaurant in 1949, it was rare to find pizza on a menu in L.A, but Miceli’s made the dish a main attraction. Now, Miceli’s is celebrating its 70th anniversary and it remains a Hollywood favorite for the famous, families and first dates.

Like many others, Carmen Miceli moved to L.A. to escape the cold. Born in Chicago to Sicilian immigrant parents, the World War II vet came out west in 1946 and

by Michael Darling

Admittedly, pizza had been around L.A. for a decade before Miceli’s opened up. In 1939, Pasquale D’Amore opened Casa D’Amore on Cahuenga Boulevard and served pizza and other Italian dishes to fellow New York transplants like Frank Sinatra and Joe DiMaggio. But it was Miceli’s that really made the dish popular, putting it front and center on the menu and in the restaurant’s front window. Miceli’s pizza man stood in the window tossing pizza dough high into the air, drawing customers to the young restaurant.

The restaurant is a well preserved relic of Hollywood’s golden age. According to Frank Micelli, “Ninety-percent of this restaurant has looked like this since 1962.” If Frank Sinatra or any other golden age Hollywood star somehow time-traveled to Miceli’s in 2019, they wouldn’t notice anything out of the ordinary other than the computer system and the prices. In addition to being a historic restaurant itself, over the years Miceli’s has helped preserve some of the neighborhood’s history. When the Pig ‘n Whistle restaurant next to the Egyptian Theater closed in the 1950s after two decades of operation, Miceli’s bought all the started working at restaurant’s hand restaurants like carved booths.

seen many famous faces sit down to dinner, everyone from the Beatles to Jim Carrey. Presidents Kennedy and Nixon both dined there before they were elected. Oftimes, the stars are just part of the Miceli’s family. “Ernest Borgnine was one of the nicest guys to walk through the door and when Pauley Perrette from NCIS walks in, she goes into the back and says hello to the dishwashers. Jon Stamos will walk into the kitchen,” says Frank Miceli. However, there are times when the staff still gets starstruck. “One time [legendary Brazilian soccer player] Pele came into our Universal City store and we told the customers ‘The kitchen will be closed for the next 30 minutes,— the cooks are all talking to Pele,” said Miceli.

However, Miceli’s biggest contribution to entertainment history came via the 1956 I Love Lucy episode, Visitor From Italy. Accoridng to Miceli, “The producers or writers of the show were walking by to get lunch at Musso’s and, as they walked by Miceli’s, they saw the pizza man in the window flipping pizzas and they said “I’ll bet Lucy could do that.” At the time, Miceli’s had a location in Beverly Hills near Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz’s home. So, prior to filming the episode, Ball worked two nights at the Beverly Hills location learning how to flip pizzas. That way, she could learn how to do it perfectly so she could do it perfectly wrong in front of the cameras. Carmen Miceli wouldn’t allow the press or anyone else to take photos of Lucy in the kitchen, telling everyone to just let her work.

“Our pizza chef at the time was a gentleman named Aldo Formica and Aldo’s the guy in the show,” says Miceli. Just as he helped teach Lucy how to toss pizzas in real life, Formica appeared in the episode as a pizza chef who attempts to show Lucy Ricardo how to toss pizza with hilariously disastrous results. While Formica never caught the acting bug, making only one other onscreen appearance as a pizza twirler in a 1975 episode of Maude; he did go on to open his own restau-

rant, Aldolino’s Italian Restaurant in Asuza. The menus at Aldolino’s feature a photo from the episode of Formica spinning a pizza as Lucille Ball looks on in astonishment.

Miceli’s has a proud musical tradition. For a long time, it hosted jazz nights Popular Pianist Brian O’Rourke is that featured performers like part musician, part magician.

Johnny Carson’s Tonight Always engaging! Steve Meeks photo Show band and singer Sarah Vaughn; but it’s most famous for its singing waitstaff. This tradition began with a dishwasher in the 1950s who had a great voice and sang along with the restaurant’s jukebox. Eventually, it became a regular thing that he would come to the front of house to sing along to certain songs on the jukebox. Over time, other staffers would start singing along to the pop, jazz and opera songs in the jukebox and when Miceli’s expanded enough to have room for a piano, servers sang along to that.

“When we opened our Universal City Miceli’s in 1980, we put a little blurb out saying ‘Miceli’s singing server audition’ and we had 250 people audition,” says Miceli. With the exception of a couple waiters who’ve been there since the 1970s, now every server at both restaurants will periodically stop serving to perform with the piano player during dinner.

At present, there are no big plans for the 70th anniversary, but Frank Miceli says that just opening up in the morning is celebration enough. “A lot of restaurants close after one or two years,” says Miceli, adding “that we have survived this long is a testament to the fact that people keep coming back.” DH SUMMER 2019 / DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD 19

Vaudeville’s New Act Boobietrap LA

by Samantha Halbreich

U

Richard M. Johnson Photography

nder a single spotlight, a middle-aged man wearing a plaid jacket and jeans is deep in focus. Sweat beaded on his forehead, his eyes remain locked on the hamburger dancing and spinning atop the teal parasol he holds in his hand. As he yells at the audience—half in earnest and half to keep their attention—about the amount of work it takes to accomplish such a feat, a yellow light comes on. He has one minute left. His attention, broken only momentarily, returns to the dizzying burger as he prepares for his finale.

He tosses the burger effortlessly from the parasol to his knee, sending it back up again onto the parasol, still spinning. The lights go up, the house band plays, and the burger is thrown into the crowd. The audience cheers and laughs at what is at once madcap and incredibly skilled. This is 21st century Vaudeville. This is Boobietrap LA. On any Wednesday night at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Whitley Avenue, in an unassuming building behind a convenience store, locals line up on a small carpet, flanked by two Inflatable Waving Arm Guys, eagerly peeking past the bouncer to see what awaits inside.

Greeted by a full bar and a house magician practicing sleight of hand and doling out balloon animals, the experience of Boobietrap begins before anyone is seated. Unlike other Hollywood comedy clubs where quiet whispers by venue regulars can make outsiders feel that they aren’t part of the in-crowd, here, there is an immediate sense of community.

Newcomers are only distinguishable by their wide-eyed stares as they take in the largely empty warehouse, aware only through the palpable energy that something unique awaits them.

As the show begins and the audience, drinks in hand, take their seats 20 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / SUMMER 2019

on plastic folding chairs, the house band begins to play. A commanding man, clad in a loud suit and reminiscent of a clown interviewing for a bank job on his day off, takes the stage. It becomes immediately clear that he is the main source of energy in the building. He is Scot Nery, and Boobietrap is his creation.

Building the crowd’s ex-

citement, warming them up and preparing them for what’s to come, Scot covers the rules of the show. Each performer has four minutes on stage. At three minutes, a yellow light bursts on to warn the act that their time is nearly up. At one minute, the lights go up along with two Inflatable Waving Arm Guys, and Scot will escort the talent off, yelling if he has to.

Throughout the night, dozens of performers will get their four minutes on this stage. A man on a unicycle playing the bagpipe, a magician dressed in a space suit, an aerialist held in the air by reams of silk, no skill is off limits. And it is in this variety that, by the third act, it is impossible not to draw comparisons to vaudeville. Unlike old time vaudeville’s touring town-to-town, however, Boobietrap shines a light on the immense and subversive talent living in Hollywood’s backyard, and the importance of this is not lost on Scot.

“Hollywood offers so much to the audience, the performers, and us,” he explains. “It feels like a happening place to be—it’s got history. So, in that way it offers performers the ability to perform on Hollywood Blvd, which is pretty dreamy on paper. It offers audiences entertainment in a place that they already know—which leads to more impressive date nights when you can bring someone into a fairly undiscovered world in a place so famous.”

It is fitting that this genre of show is experiencing a rebirth in Hollywood, a town responsible for the rapid decline of vaudeville in the 1930s.

As radio, television, and movies became more readily and financially available, vaudevillian stars such as Bob Hope, Fanny Brice, Will Rogers, and Burns & Allen were siphoned into the growing and changing film industry. Simultaneously, the Great Depression forced theatre houses like Hollywood’s own Pantages Theatre, built by vaudeville impresario Alexander Pantages, to economize—going from running movies in tandem with variety shows to focusing solely on films. After World War II, the style of comedic anarchy that was the lynchpin of variety shows no longer felt appropriate. Seriousminded musicals, created by or at least in the style of Rogers and Hammerstein, precluded outsized musical and comedy acts.

In the 40s, what was left of comedy’s raunchier footholdings gave out to comparatively more innocuous Hollywood comedies such as Arsenic and Old Lace and Harvey.

A new standard was set.

By the 1960s, television and musical writ-

ing giants such as Mel Brooks, Michael Stewart, and Betty Comden began to usher in a new era of less delicate and more joyously silly musical comedies.

Shows geared for the proverbial ‘tired businessman’. Old vaudeville greats like Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, and Jackie Gleason, feeling a spark to bring anew their comedic upbringings, rushed to join these new productions. By the 70s, Hollywood began to see a full reemergence in choice of comedy styling.

Iconic comedy clubs such as The Comedy Store and Laugh Factory opened their doors, welcoming new and old talent back on the stage to win fans and laughs. Comedy had come home, but it was now in a compartmentalized form.

Today, if you google “comedy in Hollywood”, you’re greeted with an endless list of improv theatres and clubs for stand-up comedians. You can choose sketch comedy, or even Clown. You can attend the circus or see a magic show. But a vaudevillian family home where talent could emerge and multiple styles of performance could command a stage together did not exist… until Boobietrap.

Drawing on his background as a juggler and busker, Scot saw the need and importance for true variety in Los Angeles. “LA is brimming with world-class talent that you’ll never get to see. These performers are either traveling or working in places that aren’t open to everyone. I wanted to create a world where all of that incredible talent is accessible to audiences that live here.

Boobietrap gives a home for the people that live here and feel isolated, an environment built for performers to feel fulfilled, and it’s become a phenomenon where people can open up and identify with more than just a concert. It's a feat of fun, beauty, weirdness, and love from the world's best Continues on page 51

LEFT: Television Center, former Technicolor, provides offices for an array of industry-related businesses.

RIGHT: Life Is Beautiful sculpture adorns spectacular new LGBTQ Center.

BELOW: Regen Projects one of several notable art galleries in the District.

BOTTOM: The stunning minimalism of MILK Studios contrasts with art deco Red Studios on Cahuenga.

Seinfield and Jeopardy, to name a few. Countless live audiences have stood in line to laugh and witness what we now know was entertainment history being made.

To the west at Romaine and Sycamore, satellite radio giant SiriusXM has established its West Coast headquarters in a dramatic new structure recently completed by the CIM Group. It lies immediately adjacent to one of Hollywood’s historic assets, now known as 7000 Romaine.

Who could have guessed that a young producer who took up residence at Metropolitan Studios to shoot a World War I epic entitled Hell’s Angels would create his own empire and become a legend known as much for his business ventures as his eccentricity—Howard Hughes?

Although initially purchased for the color film lab, the Romaine headquarters at 7000 Romaine would become the command center for all things Hughes. He oversaw his tool company, his film projects, and later his airline ventures all from these offices. Today, the building looks pretty much the same as it did during Hughes' time there.

Further east and not within the boundaries of the district, Godfather Paramount Studios is planning to expand its historic lot. Its parent company, Viacom, moved its headquarters directly into central Hollywood a 28 DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD / SUMMER 2019

few years ago in the re-do of Columbia Square. Hollywood’s last major motion picture studio, it shares its end of Melrose Avenue with Raleigh Studios.

Raleigh, despite considerably less acreage, still has impressive historic creds.

Within the district, the same is true of Red Studios (formerly RenMar) on Cahuenga with its four sound stages and a history going back to the Golden Age. While the past is present everywhere you look in this unpretentious part of Hollywood, there’s no doubt that it’s part of the Hollywood technological renaissance. Milk Studio’s spectacular Hollywood plant is a stunning example of creative new space.

Older buildings are also being refurbished and are sought after for their “creative” atmosphere —often with exposed brick and courtyards.

And everywhere it seems, new apartment buildings are being built to house the new generation of talent making its mark in Hollywood.

Where there’s people there is also a demand for services—another of Hollywood’s emerging industries. Restaurants such as Rao’s, a favorite New York eatery, has taken the Studio Grill and given it its own distinctive look and Italian comfort food fare. Nearby, a new offering

by Sean Loeffel has opened Spoonfed, a delightful lunch spot with outdoor tables, quick counter service or indoor tablecloth dining.

A favorite of the music industry for three decades, Cat ‘n Fiddle’s new spot is popular with industry types and neighborhood residents.

There’s something for everyone. You may not be rubbing elbows with recognized celebrity clientele, but here you will mingle among those who really make Hollywood happen.

And tucked here and there along Santa Monica Blvd. is the Theatre District with several live theatres providing the opportunity for actors to return to the stage to hone their craft while waiting for their next sitcom, drama or commercial. The Complex, with its five stages, The Blank Theatre at 2nd Stage and the Hudson Theatres attract audiences looking for entertainment or producers casting their next production.

Also adding cultural interest to the district are a number of art galleries lining Highland Avenue including the well-respected KP Projects Gallery on Santa Monica Blvd., and Jeffrey Deitch’s gallery on Orange, steps from the Howard Hughes building.

Ever-changing and evolving, major Hollywood studios and its Media District are poised for future growth both in construction and in content. With the advent of 5G, new platforms will be developed and the creative genius and talent of generations to come will continue to make Hollywood the entertainment capital of the world. DH

Summer Reading Editor’s Picks

T

o begin your summer reading journey, it was the California dream that made Route 66 the most famous road in the world. Flappers dreamed of stardom under the bright lights of Hollywood. A wave of families fleeing the Dust Bowl transformed the state during the Great Depression and World War II when another wave followed the route seeking opportunity in the massive wartime industrial plants. Those who savor the trip as much as the destination still seek it out on Route 66 today.

Joe Sonderman penned books on all of the other Route 66 states before turning to the Golden State. His collection of vintage postcards is combined with photos capturing the mom-and-pop motels, diners, juke joints, gas stations restaurants and roadside attractions.

In California Dreamin’ Along Route 66, special effort was made to research the stories and the people behind the scenery—and the dream.

T

hough most remember him fondly as the Scarecrow in the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz, Ray Bolger led an exciting life and had an illustrious theatre, film and dance career before and after the seminal film was released.

Ray Bolger: More than A Scarecrow is the first biography of this classic American entertainer, and author Holly Van Leuven is the first researcher to access the personal papers of Bolger. The book covers his childhood in an Irish Boston family, his escape to theater and vaudeville through his Tony Award win and stint as a Hollywood contract actor at the major studios, his experiences as one of the first actors to tour the South Pacific with USO and much more. It also showcases Bolger’s luminous career, how he was still relevant during media’s major changes in the 20th century and further establishes him as an icon in American pop culture.

F

orbidden Hollywood: The Pre-Code Era (19301934) by Mark A. Viera is classic Hollywood—uncensored. Filled with rare images and untold stories, published by Running Press and the most trusted authority on film, Turner Classic Movies, this is the ultimate guide to a gloriously entertaining and strikingly modern era.

Forbidden Hollywood—subtitled When Sin Ruled the Movies—is three books in one: a lavish pictorial, the suspenseful story of the struggle to control American’s sixth-largest industry; and a guide to the sexy classics made before censorship. This engaging book pulls salty quotes from

unpublished documents. You will read nervous telegrams from executives to censors, and see artful decisions fool some of the people long enough to get films into theatres and hear from fans as they applauded creativity— or condemned “immoral” movies.

T

here are famous sisters and glamorous dynasties in Hollywood, but no group of sisters had more sex, husbands, lovers, salacious gossip, tabloid cover stories, and glamorous gowns that the Gabors, the beautiful trio of European knockouts who dominated film and TV for decades with their rollercoaster antics, sudden rises and dramatic crashes.

In Finding Zsa Zsa:The Gabors Behind the Legend, Hollywood biographer, film historian, Gabor family friend, and intrepid investigator Sam Staggs looks at the sheer resilience of the Gabor family. Beginning with the family’s escape from 1940’s Hungary during the wrenching prelude to World War II, they were ready to survive the dizzying highs and subsequent obsolescence of Hollywood’s post-studio era. Tumultuous, passionate, and unapologetic, it’s a loving look at the family that was equal parts allure and notoriety.

F

inally, Olivia Hussey, forever immortalized as the definitive Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet, provides readers with a captivating look inside her life in Hollywood through her remarkable, and sometimes tumultuous, career and personal life, in her memoir The Girl on the Balcony.

Fifteen-year old Hussey was cast in the role of a lifetime and the international spotlight thrust upon her proved to be the more challenging role to conquer. Her candid memoir, written with her son, Alexander Martin (grandchild of Dean Martin), takes readers on an emotional journey through her many challenges and blessings. Her stories take readers up close to the age-defining figures she knew well—The Beatles, Vanessa Redgrave, Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor, Christopher Reeve, Sir Laurence Olivier, Ingrid Bergman and more—revealing intimate details, startling facts, bizarre coincidences and experiences as an “It Girl” in the swinging 1960’s.

Why I Love Hollywood

Discover Hollywood Special Report

by Judy Tenuta

You’ve seen Judy Tenuta appear in shows from The Vagina Monologues to Menopause the Musical. Her stand-up specials have aired on Showtime, HBO, and Lifetime. Judy was featured as the national spokesperson for a series of Diet Dr. Pepper commercials. The self-described “Love Goddess” and “Aphrodite of the Accordion” has made hundreds of guest and co-hosting appearances on such popular television shows as The View, Late Night With David Letterman, Larry King Live, Entertainment Tonight, and Comics Unleashed.

A two-time Grammy Award Nominee, Judy’s comedy albums include Attention Butt-Pirates and Lesbetarians! and In Goddess We Trust. She was the first female stand-up comic to win “Best Female Comedian” at the American Comedy Awards.

We saw her at the recent Reel to Real opening at the Hollywood Museum, and she offered this take on the town she loves.

W

hat do I love about Hollywood? Everything! I’ll never forget when I arrived here in 1987 to film my very first HBO special with three fab femmes: Rita Rudner, Paula Poundstone and Ellen DeGeneres. I was greeted at LAX by a very blonde, buxom limo driver in a pink Thunderbird named Angelyne who is living proof that anyone can make it in Hollywood! And I mean that as a compliment!

Thats what I love about this town: everyone is either famous or thinks they are! Including my gardener...who just saw me naked...HELLO! What was he doing at Walmart?! But seriously...here in the land of dreams and movie magic, it’s such a gift to collaborate with fellow artists, that your work also becomes your play.

And for the full Show Biz experience, you must wait in line for an hour to get an In-N-Out burger, then hit Hollywood Boulevard for the Walk of Fame and of course the Hollywood Museum which houses so many iconic exhibits like the Batmobile, Cher’s costumes...and even my squeezebox! It has become my home away from home.

Now come closer to the Goddess, I will tell you a secret. If you want to make it in this town, you must learn to speak “Hollywood.” Here, no one ever says what they really mean, so I have devised the Hollywood to English Dictionary so you can navigate a conversation with the best of them. Here are some frequently used phrases: “I have a 3 picture deal” means “I live in a shopping cart behind Starbucks!”

“I’ll have to call you back, I’m in a meeting” means “I’m doing your wife on my desk!”

And finally, “I love your work!” means “I just saw your sex tape!”

Now you are fully equipped to live, work and play in the land that I love: Hollywood! DH

Boobietrap LA Continued from page 21 entertainers.” And there’s no place in the world where beauty and weirdness combine more synergistically than Hollywood.

Bags of snacks have been tossed out to the crowd, half-time happy hour has quenched the need for more libations, and performers and audience members stare at the stage, eager to see how the show will close. Scot instructs everyone to pick up their folding chairs as the next act needs space. Forming a circle around the center of the room, audience members watch as an acrobat fearlessly twirls on a pole. Friends and couples cling to each other, speechless and giggly from the night passed and still ongoing. The light goes up. The show closes to uproarious cheer from performers and the crowd, and the dazed looks on people’s faces show that they know that they have witnessed both history and future.

If there’s one thing anyone familiar with Hollywood knows, it’s that in this town, you have a finite

amount of time to prove yourself. In a place where industry rules and tastes change, begging for the next big thing, being larger-thanlife is a demand from audiences. From stage performers to local baristas, if you want to catch someone’s attention you must be funny and dramatic, refined yet raw, and you must have a schtick.

The timer is set, you have four minutes to dazzle, and Hollywood welcomes all who dream to try.

You can see Scot Nery’s Boobietrap LA every Wednesday night at 6555 Hollywood Blvd. Bar & Magic at 7pm, Show at 8. For more information, visit www.boobiela.com DH

“HEART OF HOLLYWOOD” RECEIVES $4 MILLION BOOST FOR WALK OF FAME IMPROVEMENTS

T

The City of Los Angeles’ Board of Public Works has selected the design and architecture firm Gensler to design a “Master Plan” for the Hollywood Walk of Fame, kick-starting a $4 million investment into the National Historic Landmark that will serve as a catalyst as Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell implements his “HEART of Hollywood” initiative.

The Master Plan will update the streetscape concept for the Walk of Fame with the goal of designing a more pleasant, cohesive, and enjoyable experience along the public right-of-way.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Hollywood Historic Trust, Hollywood Heritage and the Hollywood Property Owners Alliance will collaborate on the initiative for the Hollywood Walk of Fame which is an internationally recognized landmark that draws millions of visitors each year. Dan Halden from O’Farrell’s office will serve as Director of the project “The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a National Historic Landmark, and my HEART of Hollywood initiative will give this community the attention it deserves,” said Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell Since luminaries Stanley Kramer and Joanne Woodward first received their stars decades ago, the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been an internationally recognized landmark that draws millions of visitors each year.

Unveiled at Councilmember O’Farrell’s State of Hollywood address, the acronym HEART stands for H – History, E – Economy, A – Arts, R – Renewal, T – Thriving. Game on! DH
