But after decades of neglect, the original sign was shortened to read “Hollywood” and then was replaced altogether with a new sign in 1978. “It’s now representing not only the place of Hollywood, but it signifies the entertainment industry, and LA is the entertainment capital of the world," Jeff Zarrinnam with the Hollywood Sign Trust said Monday.This story has been corrected to show that the original sign was shortened before the 1978 replacement.
