Many of us know of Harley Earls. He was the
First Vice-President of Design at General Motors
from 1927 until 1959. To his credit, he
engendered the Corvette. To his discredit, he
gave us tail fins. He was featured in a series
of Buick ads early in this decade which I
loved: it is always wonderful to see a company recognizing its heritage.
Well, Harley Earls has an odd-ball connection
with radio broadcasting and also with the name of
the hill on which that HOLLYWOOD sign we see so
often in movies and TV is spread.
No fair going to Wikipedia. Richard, what is the connection?
Hint: the Don Lee Mutual Broadcasting Network.
