Westwood, Los Angeles, California |
Westwood or Westwood Village is a district on the west side of the City of Los Angeles.
Developed by the Janss family in the 1920s, it is known for its proximity to UCLA. A center of movie-going
in West Los Angeles--and the site of many movie premieres--it is
home to several vintage theaters, including the Pacific Crest, the Fox Village and the Bruin. It is also home to Westwood Village Memorial Park
Cemetery, the last resting place of many of Hollywood's biggest stars. The small shopping district retains its cozy village atmosphere even as
high-rises go up around it and the nearby 405 freeway and the Wilshire-Westwood intersection traffic in tens of thousands of cars
per day.
