Los Angeles and its suburbs have been attracting stars since film was invented, and hundreds have now opted to make their home there. The authors of this guide to the area wrote for film and TV in the Hollywood studios and know the industry intimately. They both grew up in Hollywood and lived there most of their lives. Join them on this tour of the neighbourhoods of the rich and famous and of the ritzy shopping avenues. Sightseeing is also covered, with information about trips to the nearby beach towns, west LA, the foothills and Palm Springs. This vibrant city and its suburbs have been attracting stars since film was invented, and hundreds have opted to make their homes here. The atmosphere is unique, with the pizazz and glitz of the movie crowd mixed with the quiet elegance of recluses who value their privacy. The strips in town are filled with nonstop music and dance action. In some residential areas, houses are set so far off the street you won't hear a sound. The authors wrote for TV and films in the studios and know the industry intimately. They both grew up in Hollywood and lived there most of their lives. Join them as they take you through the neighborhoods of the rich and famous and along the ritzy shopping avenues. Visit the studios or hang out at hip bistros and hope to catch a glimpse of a big-name star. Sightseeing is also covered, with trips to the nearby beach towns, west LA, the foothills and Palm Springs. "The great thing about this book is that it was written by people with an inside view of "The business". Along with the most complete look at Tinsletown they add anecdotes and little known facts that make just reading the book fun. And this book covers more that downtown, Hollywood and Beverly Hills. It travels north to Santa Barbara and south to Long Beach and Catalina. If you're headed for LA this is the book to get. Even as a died-in-the-wool Angeleno, I found this book informative, usefull and fun to read." -- Harry Basch, Amazon reviewer "Here's a 600-page book that's filled to its movie brim, with tons of offbeat things to see and do; bright and breezy in its writing, you'll find facts and other nifty news here about this incredible place called LA and Hollywood that, even if you've lived here all your life (!), you probably never knew existed." -- John Clayton, Travel With a Difference radio show,

An insiders look at Hollywood

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2002

The great thing about this book is that it was written by people with an inside view of "The business". Along with the most complete look at Tinsletown they add anecdotes and little known facts that make just reading the book fun.
And this book covers more that downtown, Hollywood and Beverly Hills. It travels north to Santa Barbara and south to Long Beach and Catalina.
If you're headed for LA this is the book to get. Even as a died-in-the-wool Angeleno, I found this book informative, usefull and fun to read.

Sorry, there was a problem.
