One of the most interesting secrets in Hollywood is the existence of the so-called “27 Club.” It sounds like an urban legend, but it’s surprisingly true.

Although it may seem like a strange coincidence, the number of artists who fall into this category is truly remarkable.

Another fascinating secret is the so-called “Oscar effect.” While winning an Oscar is considered the pinnacle of success in Hollywood, some actors have experienced a decline in their careers after receiving the coveted award. This strange phenomenon, known as the “Oscar curse,” has affected a number of well-known actors, including Halle Berry, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Adrien Brody.

Did you know that the famous Hollywood Boulevard wasn’t originally called that? In fact, the legendary stretch of the avenue was known as Prospect Avenue until 1910. It was renamed Hollywood Boulevard as a way to promote the area and attract more investment. The iconic Hollywood sign, which is now one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world, also has its own curious history. Originally, the sign read “Hollywoodland” and was built in 1923 to promote a new real estate development. The “land” part was removed in 1949, giving us the sign we know today.
And speaking of iconic landmarks, did you know that the TCL Chinese Theatre, one of Hollywood’s most famous movie theaters, has over 200 handprints, footprints and signatures of movie stars in its concrete courtyard? The first to leave his mark was actor and director Norma Talmadge in 1927, and it’s since become a tradition for the biggest stars in the world.
