A one-industry town that happens to be the entertainment industry. Roughly a quarter of all notable births in Los Angeles work somewhere in film — actors, animators, art directors, production designers, stunt performers, cinematographers — at concentrations no other city comes close to matching. There is almost no one here born before the studios arrived, and almost everyone after is, in one way or another, on the call sheet.
