1911: The Movies Come to LA
-
British immigrants David and William Horsely founded Hollywood’s first permanent movie studio, the Nestor Film Company, in an old tavern at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street. Today, the site is occupied by CBS Television. Within a decade, the district had become the world’s movie capital and by the 1930s and 1940s, Hollywood had officially entered its “Golden Age.”
