-Los Angeles Magazine- How the intersection got its claim to fame
Q: Why is the intersection of Hollywood and Vine famous? There’s nothing there.
A: In May 1936, Wendell Niles from radio station KFWB brought a microphone to the corner and started a man-on-the-street program.
“Niles was a big announcer on radio shows for Bob Hope and George Burns,” says L.
A.
vocal legend Gary Owens.
Niles’s popularization of the corner as shorthand for Hollywood was copied by newspaper reporters and gossip columnists alike and even led to the (terrible) feature film Hollywood and Vine, which was released in 1945.
The radio show is gone, but you can still watch celebrities through the glass at the online entertainment network BiteSize TV, whose studios are located in the W Hotel.
He toured with Bob Hope during World War II and narrated a 1936 Academy Award-winning short film on the life of tennis great Bill Tilden.
Among his film credits is Knute Rockne, All American with Ronald Reagan.
