Day : 8 Universal Studios & Hollywood
Today, the first stop is the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was built in 1958 by California artist Oliver Weismuller. It consists of more than 2,400 five-pointed stars embedded in the sidewalks. The stars are permanent public monuments to achievement in the entertainment industry. Walk of Fame runs 1.3 miles, starting from Grauman's Chinese Theatre where the Oscar ceremony was held from 1944 to 1946. The Oscar ceremony has changed to be holding in Kodak Theatre (which is next to Chinese Theatre) since 2001. In fact, this is the home for many movie premieres.
Universal Studio City set up in 1915 to serve as the general headquarters of what was already the biggest film company in the United States. Such film studios as MGM, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, and United Artists were not yet in existence. Universal Studio Hollywood was opened to the public on July 4, 1964, when the film market had dipped due to the rise of television in the early 1960s. This attraction now draws millions of visitors annually and brings biggest income to the studios.
