I have a hard time explaining to people that Hollywood isn't all "swimming pools, movie stars". Then poster Mystique PM'ed me THIS-

Thanks Mystique!!!

After the message of the video and acknowledging that problems do exist.

The area surrounding Hollywood is still a fairly luxurious area with a large celebrity population as well as swimming pools.

i knew for years Hollywood was like this before I moved out here. I love it though. Such a funky life!

The most accurate depiction o Hollywood life I have ever seen is the film "Reflections of Evil" by Damon Packard. Absolute insanity...and i watched it about a week before i moved out here...to prepair!!
