Hollistory (you see, that's Hollywood and history combined)

Did you know that the elephants at the Hollywood/Highland complex were modelled after those built for the set of D.W. Griffith's 1916 film "Intolerance"? In fact those OEs (that's original elephants) stood for eight years along Sunset Blvd right where the Vista Theatre is located now. "Intolerance", the most expensive film of its time, employed 60,000 people! It flopped, and the elephants were demolished years later as they posed quite the fire hazard.
