TIL the famous Hollywood sign was in a state of disrepair and ultimately torn down for three months in 1978. Playboy’s Hugh Hefner helped rebuild it via a $250K fundraising campaign. He then donated $900K to save it again in 2010. laist.com Submitted by Miamime t3_11owlp0 on March 11, 2023 at 10:06 PM in todayilearned No comments 5
