The iconic Hollywood Sign celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2023.
On Dec. 8, 1923, the 45-foot-high illuminated sign debuted, originally reading “Hollywoodland” as an advertisement for an upscale real estate subdivision. Since then, the sign became a treasured symbol of Los Angeles and Hollywood history. In late 2022, the nonprofit Hollywood Sign Trust partnered with Sherwin Williams on an extensive refurbishment ahead of the centennial celebrations.
