HERE'S TO HOLLYWOOD
Throughout its history, the term Hollywood has become a metonymy for American cinema. The Hollywood sign is one of the world’s most evocative symbols and a universal metaphor for ambition, success and glamour. Who would have guessed that the famous sign started as an advertisement for a failed real estate development called Hollywoodland?
Our feature story reveals the connection between this iconic symbol and Minnesota artist Bill Mack, who is turning the original sign into collectible art. The theme continues throughout this issue, as Rudy Maxa and Anthony Dias Blue take us tooling around L.A. in movie star fashion. Then, designer Billy Beson shows us how a few home accents can bring Hollywood glam to any home, and Mitchell Wherley of Spalon Montage applauds the revival of classic movie star styles. Minnesota native Noah Longo shares his silver screen dreams and Ana Scofield takes us behind the scenes of the hit show Glee.
Of course, fame can be found on the field as well as the screen, and we’re excited to bring our readers a conversation with Minnesota’s newest star, Brett Favre. A special thanks to former Viking Esera Tuaolo for this interview.
In this issue you will also discover some of the best properties available with Sotheby’s International Realty along with a special group of advertisers that bring you this magazine every quarter.
Thanks for reading and spending time with Artful Living.
Cheers,
-Frank Roffers
