Prostitutes Hollywood

The Early Era

The history of Hollywood is not just about the glitz and glamour; it has a darker side too. Prostitution has been a part of Hollywood since its early days. In the 1920s, during the silent film era, there were already reports of sex workers operating near movie studios. Some aspiring actresses turned to prostitution to make ends meet while waiting for their big break.

Modern Developments

Over the decades, the problem persisted. The 1970s and 1980s saw a rise in street prostitution in areas like Sunset Boulevard. Law enforcement crackdowns have occurred periodically, but the trade continues.

Digital Transformation

More recently, with the rise of the internet, the industry has shifted online. Websites and apps now facilitate encounters, making it harder for police to track. However, Hollywood’s reputation as a place where dreams are sold extends beyond the silver screen.
