Hollywood's first and foremost National Historic District, Whitley Heights was home to stars such as Rudolph Valentino, Marie Dressler, Charlie Chaplin, Bette Davis, WC Fields, Gloria Swanson, Rosalind Russell, Boris Karloff, and Bozo to name but a few. Screenwriters include William Faulkner, Ben Hecht, James Hilton, and Anita Loos.
Nestled in the lush Hollywood Hills and basking in the glow of the famous Hollywood sign, this distinctive neighborhood remains much as it did in the early 1900s. Enjoy!
