British Columbia, Canada a.k.a. "Hollywood North"!
Welcome!
British Columbia has always been an important connection to the international entertainment industry. Boris Karloff, Raymond Burr, David Foster and a host of other legendary performers have helped put BC on the map. Thanks to Chuck Davis' fascinating and informative Vancouver History site for lots of great trivia. If you like this site and have trivia to share, feel free to contact me at srduncan@shaw.ca. Be sure to visit the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame Archives
In 1861 Col. Richard Moody of the Royal Engineers named Lulu Island in Richmond in honor of 16-year-old singer Lulu Sweet, a visiting member of a touring San Francisco musical revue.
