Hooray for Hollywood (Part 2): Facades, Film Stars & Forgotten Storefronts

WhereInThePark.com Episode 8

What do Jason Bourne, Max Factor, Marilyn Monroe, and Pretty Woman have in common? They’re all part of the architectural story told along Hollywood Blvd at Universal Studios Florida.

In Part 2 of our Hooray for Hollywood series, Amanda takes us through the next stretch of facades—from the Bourne Stuntacular and its futuristic roots to Max Factor’s glam legacy, a hotel fit for movie stars, and a towering tribute to golden-age of retail at the Kress 5&Dime. These aren’t just theme park buildings… they’re living nods to real Hollywood history.
