Sitting on a curb with the Hollywood Hills and Hollywoodland sign in the background, 1926
Although he’s a little too far away and a little too blurry to be sure, apparently the guy pictured here sitting on a curb in the Hollywood Hills with the Hollywoodland sign in the background is credited as being Charlie Chaplin, but I doubt that it is. The photo was taken in 1926 when sign would have only been 3 years old at this point, so regardless of whether it’s Charlie or not, it’s interesting to see the sign so fresh and new, and the Hollywood hills so empty.

Definitely not Chaplin. Nice photo, anyway.
I posted this on my facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/gardenofallahnovels/ – and the consensus of opinion was what you said: It’s not Chaplin, but it’s a cool photo.
Didn’t he live up there for a time? I am thinking I walked past one of his homes that was on Temple Hill maybe?
