Hurray for hollywood.
In 1911 the small, peaceful village of Hollywood in California (1) has voted/voted to become part of Los Angeles, because it (2) had /was having problems with the water supply.

year actors (11) still wait/are still waiting nervously to find out if they have won an 'oscar' - although director Woody Allen (12) has once missed/once missed the ceremony because he (13) played/was playing the clarinet in his favourite jazz club!
Nowadays it (14) becomes/is becomig more and more common for films to be made away from Hollywood itself, but it remains the home of film, and thousands of hopeful young actors and writers (15) still come/are still coming to the 'the Dream Factory' every year. But not all Hollywood dreams (16) have been/were happy ones - as one actress, who later (17) has died/died tragically, said: 'Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you $500 for kiss, and 50c for your soul.'
