Happy 125th Birthday, Hollywood! It's hard to believe that a century-and-a-quarter ago, a real estate mogul from Kansas named Harvey Wilcox registered the area with the County recorder, envisioning "the perfect site for a utopian-like community for devout Christians, where they could live a a highly moral life free of vices such as alcohol."

Ever wonder what happens to the kids who wear suits every day to do scutwork like filing, errands to the Verizon store and Coffee Bean and deal with the mail for 11+ hours at talent agencies?
