Hollywoodland

The title of this episode is also shown on screen at the beginning, with lights twinkling as it was originally made to do before part of the sign burned down in 1949. It was rebuilt, just as HOLLYWOOD, with the last 4 letters omitted. One reason given was that at a letter count of 13, "Hollywoodland" felt unlucky. Up until 1949, when it almost all burned down, it was a popular suicide spot; people would jump off the second letter "D", being letter #13 of the sign, and over the steeper part of the mountain over a cliff.

In reality, Hedy Lamarr was under contract to MGM, not Paramount.
