The History of Hollywood

In 1911 a group of filmmakers moved to Hollywood on the whim of a coin flip when they couldn’t decide whether to relocate from New Jersey to California or Florida. Now, the Hollywood film industry contributed $504 billion to US GDP pre-pandemic and actors are more recognisable than most world leaders. Carla Valderrama, Hollywood historian and author of “This Was Hollywood: Forgotten Stars and Stories” joins Sean to discuss some of the fascinating stories from old Hollywood.   Listen and subscribe to Moncrieff on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or Spotify.    Download, listen and subscribe on the Newstalk App.     You can also listen to Newstalk live on newstalk.com or on Alexa, by adding the Newstalk skill and asking: 'Alexa, play Newstalk'. see more
