Welcome to Los Angeles Welcome to Los Angeles, also called LA. It's the second largest American city. LA is famous for one of its suburbs, Hollywood, which is the capital of world movie production. The biggest and most successful film studios — Disney, Universal, Fox, Warner Bros, Paramount, Columbia, MGM — are here. These are star factories. A lot of famous stars have been through the gates of these studios. Celebrities don't only work in LA, they also live in and around the city. Most celebrities' homes are in Beverly Hills, an area near^A. It's a place where the stars can feel safe: the Beverly Hills police is sure to turn up seconds after a call. If there is one city that is even more beautiful and glamorous than Beverly Hills, it's Malibu, known for its beautiful beach. Here celebrities can look at the ocean from the windows of their multi-million-dollar homes. The stars' addresses are not a secret, and the public can drive past celebrities' homes, but you are unlikely to spot a star from the window of your car or a tourist bus. You may have more luck on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills where the expensive shops are. Julia Roberts or Barbara Streisand are likely to go there to do their shopping.
