Hollywood La Brea Gateway

The Four Ladies Statue

Officially dubbed the Hollywood La Brea Gateway, the stainless steel gazebo on the southeast corner of Hollywood and La Brea is more commonly known as the Four Ladies Statue. Created by production designer ("Vanilla Sky," "Laurel Canyon," "Tombstone, "Three Kings") and director ("Thirteen," "Lords of Dogtown") Catherine Hardwicke in 1993, the sculpture is a tribute to the multi-ethnic women of Hollywood. The four life-size silver ladies supporting the structure represent Mae West, Dorothy Dandridge, Anna Mae Wong and Dolores Del Rio.
