Born and raised near the Hollywood sign, Greg’s interest in Hollywood’s history began when he wrote The Story of Hollywoodland, a book about the neighborhood where he grew up. His connection to Hollywood goes beyond an interest in its history, though. A puppeteer and a puppet designer in the entertainment industry for 25 years, Greg's credits include Men in Black and Men in Black II, Beakman’s World, Child’s Play 3, Mighty Joe Young, Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and The Showbiz Show with David Spade. He also wrote a series of children’s book with Jim Henson based on the Muppet characters. Greg has devoted many hours to the preservation of Hollywood’s Historic District and continues to be active in the community.
