Hollywood sign, iconic symbol of entertainment industry, originally built to advertise what? Correct
The correct answer is a housing development. The Hollywood sign, initially constructed in 1923, was intended as a large-scale billboard for a housing development called “Hollywoodland.” This real estate project was meant to promote a new upscale residential area in the Hollywood Hills. Over time, as the sign became synonymous with the burgeoning film industry and the neighborhood of Hollywood itself, it evolved into the iconic symbol of the entertainment industry. While film studios, luxury hotels, and theme parks are prevalent in the Hollywood area, the Hollywood sign’s original purpose was to advertise the “Hollywoodland” housing development.
