Historical Highlights
On January 22, 1947, KTLA became the first commercial TV station west of the Mississippi River, marking the beginning of Hollywood's TV era. By December of that year, "The Public Prosecutor" became Hollywood's first movie produced for TV. During the 1950s, music recording studios began moving into the area, although many entertainment businesses shifted to other parts of Los Angeles, particularly Burbank. Despite these changes, much of the movie industry remained.
One of Hollywood's architectural icons, the Capitol Records building, was constructed in 1956. Located on Vine Street just north of Hollywood Boulevard, its circular design resembles a stack of vinyl records, although it's not open to the public.
In 1958, the Hollywood Walk of Fame was established, with the first star laid in 1960. This honor celebrates artists in motion pictures, live theatre, radio, television, and music, recognizing their career achievements and contributions to art and society.
