Bob Hope Square
Hollywood and Vine, the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood, California, became famous in the 1920s for its concentration of radio and movie related businesses. The Taft building at the southeast corner housed offices for Charlie Chaplin and Will Rogers, and from 1935 to 1945 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences offices. Nearby on Vine were the original Lasky-Paramount Studios, later NBC's West coast studios; and ABC's first West coast studios. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is centered on the intersection.
Today, few production facilities remain in the immediate area; one of these is the Capitol Records building.
Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins have TV stars of the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Hollywood & Vine.
On May 29, 2003, Hollywood and Vine was named "Bob Hope Square" to commemorate Hope's 100th birthday.
