[Answer] The Hollywood sign, now an iconic symbol of the entertainment industry, was originally built to advertise what?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The Hollywood sign, now an iconic symbol of the entertainment industry, was originally built to advertise what?"



...The Hollywood sign, originally built in 1923, was not intended to symbolize the entertainment industry as it does today. Instead, it was created as an advertisement for a real estate development called "Hollywoodland." The sign was part of a promotional campaign to attract buyers to a new housing development in the hills above Los Angeles. Originally, it read "Hollywoodland" and featured flashing lights. Over time, as the film industry grew and the sign became synonymous with Hollywood itself, the "land" portion was removed in 1949, transforming it into the iconic landmark that we recognize today.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "In 2005, who tried on Patriots owner Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring and never gave it back?"



...The incident occurred in 2005, when Kraft visited the Russian president in St. Petersburg after the Pats won their third Super Bowl title. "I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring,'" Kraft said in 2013. "I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out." Despite the fact that Putin walked off with the ring, Kraft still wanted it returned. Kraft gave up on his quest to get it back after he was strongly persuaded by the George W. Bush White House to let it go.
