葫芦丝竹楼情歌李春华:求关于Sunset Boulevard的英文介绍~

Sunset Boulevard
The stars may work at the movie studios in Hollywood and the Valley, but most of them live in the posh residential neighborhoods of L.A.'s west side: Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Brentwood, and the Malibu Colony.

Sunset Boulevard, one of the world's most famous streets, was born as a route between those two divergent worlds. The Boulevard still links the gritty, urban streets of downtown Hollywood to the lush, green, residential avenues of Beverly Hills.

A drive west along Sunset allows you to experience a little of both worlds.

The name Sunset Boulevard has become a part of Hollywood legend, the inspiration for countless songs, movies & TV shows.

"Sunset Boulevard" was, of course, the name of the famous 1950 motion picture starring William Holden & Gloria Swanson. That movie, in turn, inspired the 1993 Andrew Lloyd Webber musical of the same name (which starred actress Glenn Close in the lead role of Norma Desmond.)

In the 1960's, the street was immortalized on television, in the popular series "77 Sunset Strip."

In the 1990's, another (short-lived) TV show was named "Below Sunset," and starred Glenn Frey, the lead singer of the rock group "The Eagles."

The Eagles' biggest-selling album, "Hotel California," featured a photo of a Sunset Boulevard hotel on its cover, the "Pink Palace" itself - the Beverly Hills Hotel.

In 1985, former-Eagle Don Henley recorded a song about life down at "The Sunset Grill."

In the 1970's, disco singers sang about life "On Sunset," where there were "limousines to hide the stars, tinted glass to hide the scars... "

And the final scene in Woody Allen's classic 1977 comedy, "Annie Hall," was filmed at a sidewalk café right on the Sunset Strip...

But what about the real Sunset Boulevard?

Sunset Blvd is a long, winding thoroughfare which begins in downtown Los Angeles, near Olvera Street (the birthplace of the city), and runs westward over 20 miles to the blue Pacific.

Along the way, Sunset Boulevard passes through Hollywood (just two blocks south of Hollywood Boulevard), then becomes the Sunset Strip as it passes through West Hollywood, weaves its way through Beverly Hills and Bel-Air, and finally winds its way through the rustic foothills of the Santa Monica mountains, to finally end at the Pacific Ocean near Malibu. Over the course of those 20 miles, the boulevard's personality undergoes several radical transformations...
