Welcome to Los Angeles

Welcome to Los Angeles, also called LA. Ittasks the second largest American city. LA is famous for one of its suburbs, Hollywood, which is the capital of world movie production. The biggest and most successful film studios — Disney, Universal, Fox, Warner Bros, Paramount, Columbia, MGM — are here. These are star factories. A lot of famous stars have been through the gates of these studios.

Celebrities dontaskt only work in LA, they also live in and around the city. Most celebritiestask homes are in Beverly Hills, an area nearLA. Ittasks a place where the stars can feel safe: the Beverly Hills police is sure to turn up seconds after a call. If there is one city that is even more beautiful and glamorous than Beverly Hills, ittasks Malibu, known for its beautiful beach. Here celebrities can look at the ocean from the windows of their multi-million-dollar homes.

The starstask addresses are not a secret, and the public can drive past celebritiestask homes, but you are unlikely to spot a star from the window of your car or a tourist bus.

You may have more luck on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills where the expensive shops are. Julia Roberts or Barbara Streisand are likely to go there to do their shopping.

Or try Hollywood Boulevard, with its world-famous movie theaters like Manntasks Chinese Theater, the Egyptian Theater and the 3,300-seat Kodak Theater, where the Oscars take place. Every year, usually in February, celebrities are sure to come for the most important event in show biz: Oscar Night. On that day the prestigious Academy Awards, called "Oscars", are presented for the yeartasks best achievements in the film world.

Youtaskll be surprised to find out that the "red carpet" area that leads to the Kodak Theatre is actually a huge shopping mall called Hollywood and Highland, which is full of shops and restaurants. This place attracts a lot of tourists who like to imagine that star directors like Stephen Spielberg or Quentin Tarantino will turn up for a cup of coffee just before the Oscars. They are unlikely to do so, because on the big day all the shops are closed and the public cantaskt even go in. But youtaskre certain to see your favourite star if you stand outside in the huge crowd of people waiting behind the velvet ropes.

If you missed the Oscars, youtaskre unlikely to see any celebrities on an ordinary day, but dontaskt leave Hollywood Boulevard in a hurry. Look down at your feet and youtaskll see bronze stars set in the sidewalk. Look closer and youtaskll be able to read the names of the people who made Hollywood famous: film directors, producers, camera operators, actors and actresses, and musicians. Ittasks the Walk of Fame, the most unusual monument to talent and success in the world. The tradition started in the late 1950s and now there are more than 2,500 stars in the sidewalk. Every year twenty new celebrities get their stars, but a star isntaskt cheap. It costs about $40,000 to install and look after one.

If you dontaskt look down, Hollywood Boulevard looks like an ordinary street. There are no architectural masterpieces, ittasks not very clean and ittasks full of little souvenir shops. In the evening teenagers often come to sing and dance here They pay no attention to the tourists and the stars in concrete.

There is a pop song called "Celluloid Heroes" that 1 always remember when I walk along Hollywood Boulevard. The song was written by a group called the Kinks.

Everybodytasks a dreamer and everybodytasks a star

And everybodytasks in movies, it doesntaskt matter who you are

There are stars in every city

In every house and on every street

And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard

Their names are written in concrete.

Dontaskt step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard

She looks so weak and fragile thattasks why she tried to be so hard

But they turned her into a princess

And they sat her on a throne

But she turned her back on stardom

Because she wanted to be alone.

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard

Some that you recognize, some that youtaskve hardly even heard of

People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame

Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
