Hollywood Tapestries
Description: Hollywood - Lieutenant Rick Neven (callsign: Hollywood) is a Naval Aviator and graduate of TOPGUN. His radar intercept officer (RIO) is Wolfman. Hollywood and Wolfman's F-14 was shot down in the final engagement with the six MiG-28s. They were both rescued and were last seen disembarking from the rescue helicopter aboard the USS Enterprise to greet Iceman, Slider, Maverick and Merlin.
Description: the Hollywood Center Motel is a historic and somewhat infamous property located at 6720 Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Originally built in the early 1900s as a Queen Anne-style home named "El Nido" by William and Sarah Avery, the property was transformed over the decades into a 23-unit motel. In 1922, a 13-unit bungalow court was added, and by the 1950s, it operated as the Hollywood Center Motel, offering amenities like a "super heated pool" and continental breakfast. The motel has a storied past, featured in films and TV shows such as L.A. Confidential, The Rockford Files, and the 1972 film Hit Man. However, it gained notoriety for its seedy reputation, including a 1963 armed robbery and a 1986 murder linked to the Billionaire Boys Club
Description: The original Chinese Theatre was commissioned following the success of the nearby Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, which opened in 1922, both of which are in Exotic Revival style architecture. Built by a partnership headed by Sid Grauman over 18 months starting in January 1926, the theater opened May 18, 1927, with the premiere of Cecil B. DeMille's The King of Kings. It has since been home to many premieres, including the 1977 launch of George Lucas' Star Wars, as well as birthday parties, corporate junkets, and three Academy Awards ceremonies. While the name has changed several times, it's still commonly referred to as Grauman's Chinese Theatre by locals and tourists alike.
