A History of Weed-Inspired Vandalism of the Hollywood Sign

This isn’t the first time this has happened. The 2017 vandal’s art recalls a famous incident from New Year's Day in 1976 when a student at Cal State Northridge named Danny Finegood pulled the same stunt. Finegood and a few of his college friends took $50 worth of curtains up to Mount Lee and made the first-ever “Hollyweed” edit by strategically covering the two o’s to look like e’s. The joke reportedly got him an “A” in his art class.
