Back to:- Sunset Boulevard

Corner of Sunset Boulevard and Courtney Avenue, Hollywood 

Hugh Grant's place of infamy, it was on this corner at 1:30 a.m. on 27th June 1995 that Hugh Grant forever tarnished his 
golden-boy image. Driving around after dinner at Matsuhisa on La Ceinega Boulevard,  Hugh pulled over his white BMW here and picked up prostitute Divine Brown. Grant and Brown then drove a few blocks east and stopped on Hawthorn Avenue, where two cops interrupted his business transaction. Grant was charged with a misdemeanor for lewd conduct in a public place, from which he received world wide publicity and even greater fame.
