The Famous Hollywood sign. The letters are 50 feet high and 30 feet wide. There was a lot of haze today. Fortunately, it was from the sea breeze and not smog.
The story behind this house according to our tour guide is that Harrison Ford worked on this house before he was discovered. He was a carpenter by trade. The producer whom it was built for told Harrison that when he made it big as a star, he would sell it to him. Harrison came back and bought the house. It is now occupied by his ex-wife.
This is Richard Gere's house. It is really a very lovely home. He is not as disposed to having everything behind a curtain of foilage or high fences out of sight as a lot of the stars of Hollywood are. I guess he remembers who put him on top. Can't say the same for a lot of others here.
My lovely wife on her birthday on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She happens to be on Robin Williams star.
Not sure when I will have Internet access again but will post as soon as I can.
