HURRAY FOR HOLLYWOOD
In 1911 the small, peaceful village of Hollywood voted to become part of Los Angeles, because it was having problems with its water supply. Today, nearly a hundred years later, this same village has grown into the home of one of the most glamorous industries in the world-the American film industry. With this growth came many other well-known symbols. There is the famous Hollywood sign which stands above the hills of the town. The original sign was built in 1923, but the present one has only been there since 1978.$image1$ Then there is the Grauman's Chinese Theater, where great actors and actresses leave their hand and footprints. Norma Talmadge was the first actress to do this in 1927. But most famous of all are the Academy Awards, better known as the "Oscars". In march every year, actors and actresses still wait nervously to find out if they have won-although director Woody Allen once missed the ceremony because he was playing the clarinet in his favourite jazz club!

Nowadays it is becoming more and more common for films to be made away from Hollywood, but it remains the home of film, and thousands of hopeful young actors still come to "The Dream Factory" every year. But not all Hollywood dreams were happy ones. For example, one actress who later died tragically, said:"Hollywood is a place where they shall pay $500 for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul."
I think that we need a place like Hollywood in our country. In this way we can improve our film industry. For example, Azerbaijan can host international events about films. It may also affect tourism in our country. In brief, we can benefit from it financially.

thank you for interesting article. I am suspicious about our film industry. however I don't cut my hopes obsolutely. in my opinion, in past, our film industry was away better than present-day. it shows that we have opportunity for being succesful. I believe in my country.
