Mayor of Hollywood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mayor of Hollywood is an honorary position in Hollywood, a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, California. The office carries responsibilities, such as presiding at Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremonies, but it entails no salary or official power. Mayors are appointed by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

The office became vacant with the death of Johnny Grant on January 9, 2008. Among those lobbying for the job are Gary Owens and Angelyne. ^[1]
