Famous quotes containing the word hollywood:

    Isn’t Hollywood a dump—in the human sense of the word. A hideous town, pointed up by the insulting gardens of its rich, full of the human spirit at a new low of debasement.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Just like those other black holes from outer space, Hollywood is postmodern to this extent: it has no center, only a spreading dead zone of exhaustion, inertia, and brilliant decay.
    Arthur Kroker (b. 1945)

    In Hollywood now when people die they don’t say, “Did he leave a will?” but “Did he leave a diary?”
    Liza Minnelli (b. 1946)
