VIDEO: 'Eye on L.A.' rediscovers cultural gems

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Where Hollywood was really born with producer Jesse Lasky and director/producer Cecil B. DeMille, and the Hollywood Heritage Museum. And check out genuine L.A. at the Ford Theatre.

HOLLYWOOD WAS BORN IN A BARN!

It's hard to believe that the city now considered the "entertainment capital of the world," was once all dirt roads and a farm town! And thanks to the preservation efforts of Hollywood Heritage, the Lasky-DeMille Barn where Hollywood's first feature length film was born is still around today. Now it's the Hollywood Heritage Museum, and you can stop by and experience its history for yourself.
