Description: Hollywood was conceived a century ago, and within three decades a sedate farming community that had banned saloons and theaters became the world capital of movie production.
Here are pioneers who created studio empires that long survived them, the camaraderie of the early years, the dream factories, the employing of  thousands of specialized talents.
"Happy Birthday, Hollywood!" is a rich anthology of Hollywood history, its landmarks, colorful anecdotes and rare photographs -many never before published- from  1887 right  up to this year's Academy Award winners.
