Built in 1923, the Hollywood sign was first changed to "Hollyweed" on Jan. 1, 1976 when a Cal State Northridge student similarly hung curtains over some of the letters to alter the sign. The "H" was once hidden to read "Ollywood" during the Oliver North and the Iran-Contra hearings. When the Pope visited in 1987 the sign was changed to "Holywood."
