Sunset Boulevard

Sunset Boulevard is a long, winding thoroughfare that begins in downtown Los Angeles and runs westward more than 20 miles to the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, Sunset Boulevard passes through Hollywood before it becomes the Sunset Strip as it passes through West Hollywood, weaves its way through Beverly Hills and Bel-Air, and continues through the rustic foothills of the Santa Monica mountains, and finally ends at the Pacific Ocean near Malibu. Over the course of those 20 miles, the boulevard's personality undergoes several radical transformations.

The name “Sunset Boulevard” has become a part of Hollywood legend, serving as the inspiration for countless songs, movies and TV shows, including:

- The famous 1950 motion picture starring William Holden & Gloria Swanson titled “Sunset Boulevard.” The movie, in turn, inspired the 1993 Andrew Lloyd Webber musical of the same name, which starred actress Glenn Close in the lead role of Norma Desmond.
- The 1960's popular TV series "77 Sunset Strip"
- The Eagles' biggest-selling album, "Hotel California," which featured a photo of a Sunset Boulevard hotel on its cover, the Beverly Hills Hotel.
- Former Eagle Don Henley recorded a song about life down at "The Sunset Grill" in 1985
- 1970’s disco singers sang about life "On Sunset," where there were "limousines to hide the stars, tinted glass to hide the scars... "
- The final scene in Woody Allen's classic 1977 comedy "Annie Hall" was filmed at a sidewalk café right on the Sunset Strip.
