  • Egypt has its pyramids, Paris has its Eiffel Tower, and Los Angeles has the Hollywood sign, one of the most recognizable monuments in the world. Correspondent Luke Burbank explores the history of the sign, which marks its centennial this December, and takes a climb down to the base of the 45-foot-tall letters that have spelled glamour, success and heartbreak for generations.

      @@lewstone5430 Totally. I was born in Hollywood and grew up in Beachwood Canyon and the sign is not remotely magical. It is not a work of art, or particularly beautiful or anything - it was put there by a real estate company to lure prospective home owners to the area, and that's all. The neighborhood itself is the magical part and it's been almost ruined in recent yeas by entitled, selfish tourists who ruin the peacefulness of the area. I'm glad I don't live up there any more because of them.

    I used to live in West Hollywood in the early 90’s. A friend or two and I used to go running around the reservoir below the sign. One day I discovered one could run/hike up the side of the hills and on a narrow path that crested the top of them. The views were amazing on clear days: the LA basin on one side and the SF Valley on the other. Right next to this was the big sign and one could run over to it then (no big chain link fence like now) and climb up on it if one wanted to. I remember the back of the letters were covered in graffiti and kinda ratty up close.

    My first trip before moving to Hollywood my best friend and I climbed up from Sunset Blvd starting at the guitar center. A couple of young metal heads walking all the way to touch those letters clad in leather jackets on a hot June day. It is a steep climb although coming down was more sketchy.

    The HOLLYWOOD sign is the heirloom that for the last 100 years has been a reliable foundation, for Los Angeles teaching generations of Californians harmony, patience, balance, and luck... passed down generation after generation...
    I guess that makes the HOLLYWOOD sign, Los Angeles's official "Bonsai Tree."

    I knew the lore before I moved to LA and yet you are right.. it is uplifting when you spy it from differing neighborhoods. I loved looking up from my hikes in the canyon to see it. I only lived in LA for two years and sadly a big regret was that I could never get my frisky dog to sit still for a portrait.

    Poor math. The sign is not 100. It is 45! In 1978 the sign was completely removed and rebuilt, smaller, all new and different materials, slightly different support footings. There is a 1978 Chamber press release substantiating the age of 45 years too.
