Hollywood, a suburb of the city of Los Angeles in California, is situated between a range of mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Until 1908 it was no more than a quiet village on the northern side of the city, but in that year William Selig, one of the first people to make films, set up a film-producing workshop in Los Angeles. By 1911, in Hollywood, and at about the same time oil was discovered in the neighborhood. Thus Hollywood quickly became a big district given over to the film industry and to oil wells.
The early film makers found Hollywood a suitable place for their work because of its clear, sunny, rain free weather, which allowed pictures to be taken all the year round. Also, it was known that every kind of scene needed for films, whether town, country, sea, desert or snow-capped mountains, could be found within the area of California. Nowadays, when some films can be "shot" under cover by man-made lighting, these advantages are not so important.
At present, Hollywood remains a center of film production although nowadays making more films for television than for the cinema. There, or in Beverly Hills nearby, are to be seen the houses of the "stars" and producers famous all over the world.
