In December 2006. KCET/PBS Los Angeles, "Life & Times" featured a segment on our new book The Story of Hollywood and author Greg Williams. Special thanks to Vicki Curry, segment producer for her support and interest in the project! Also seen on Real Orange News, PBS KOCE TV / Channel 5
We presented a copy of "The Story of Hollywood" to
Honorary Mayor Johnny Grant at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's Annual "Hollywood
Expo." Johnny introduced Greg to the audience and the book was prominently
featured throughout the evening. We also had active interest from the Chamber
and many other businesses and individuals in attendance.
More to come....!

"Other books have traced the history of moviemaking
in Los Angeles and the cultural history of Hollywood, but this ambitious
and handsome new volume is the most thorough examination of the town itself
I’ve ever seen."
