The Hollywood film industry is 100 years old this year. In early 1910, director DW Griffith was sent by the Biograph Company to the west coast to take advantage of the Californian sunshine.

In 1910, the area where Hollywood now stands was notable only for its citrus groves and plentiful sunshine. By 1915, it was the centre of the American film business

:birthday: party:

Happy 100th Anniversary Hollywood! Thank-you for 100 years of movie magic!

Like the song goes, "Hooray for Hollywood"! :birthday:

Wow, I'm surprised there hasn't been more publicity about this. Maybe I'm just too wrapped up in the Olympics right now, but this is a wonderful reason to celebrate! Just think of where we would be if there were no Hollywood!

Happy bday

Happy 100th Birthday Hollywood! We love you. Thank you for a century of movie magic. :D

Happy 100th Hollywood, love ya.
