This is a photo of the Famous Hollywood sign in Hollywood. Does anyone know when the sign was first erected? And is this the original sign?

The signn was there since 1923 it said Hollywoodland, and was a ad for real state development, In the 1973 the sign was vandalized many times, and also they arrenged the letters for diferent tings like the visit of john paul II

Then the letters started to fall so they decided to rebuild the sign, by 1984 the sign was there again.

I think the sign was originally erected *sniggers* in the 1920's as an advertisment and it did it's job very well! =D It is not still the original sign as the original actually said Hollywoodland and was an advert for some sort of housing development.

I think it was first erected in 1968 and was rebuilt in 1995 .
