Tourists who visit Los Angeles are desperate for a taste of the real Hollywood. So they waste their time exploring places like the Hollywood Walk of Fame or riding the tram at Universal Studios. I’ve even seen tourists lurking outside the gate at Paramount Pictures, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite star. It never occurs to them that celebrities like Tom Cruise and Emma Stone don’t just drive through a studio gate in plain sight. (They enter by way of a secret tunnel, where mole people escort them to their office of choice.)
The real Hollywood is hidden.
I’m willing to bet that even those who have lived here for years don’t know about the Hollywood Agent’s Museum (HAM). Yes, it’s a real place, but you won’t find it in any travel books. Only industry people tend to visit, but admission is free and it’s open to everyone.
Located just outside of town on the backlot of a second-tier studio, the Hollywood Agent’s Museum stands as a testament to the importance of what people like me do for a living. I try to visit at least once a year or whenever I need an ego boost.
My favorite spot in the museum is a gallery called the Truth Behind the Myth. It’s a cavernous
