Dell Lore: Stories from the Shadows of the Hills
The Hollywood Dell isn't just a neighborhood; it’s a collection of secrets nestled "in" the hills rather than on top of them. While the world looks up at the iconic Hollywood Sign—which began its life in 1923 as a giant advertisement for these very slopes—those of us in the Dell know that the real stories are found down here, winding through our canyon roads.
This section, Dell Lore, is dedicated to the legends that have taken root in our "storybook" landscape. From the Golden Age stars who sought refuge in our Spanish Colonial villas to the modern-day mysteries that only neighbors whisper about over garden fences, the Dell has always been a place where Hollywood’s public glamour meets its private enigmas.
Whether it's the history of the original 1920s architecture, tales of the diverse professionals and celebrities who have called these streets home, or the echoes of the "Hollywoodland" dream that still linger in the air, these are the stories that define our unique corner of the hills.
