American Legion Post 43, in Hollywood, California was founded in 1919 by World War I veterans in the motion picture business such as founding members Cecil B. DeMille, Walter Long, and Adolph Menjou. Known as the "Post to the Stars", members have included Hollywood luminaries such as Gene Autry, Humphrey Bogart, Ernest Borgnine, Clark Gable, Charlton Heston, Stan Lee, Ronald Reagan, Mickey Rooney, and Rudy Vallee.The post's historic clubhouse was completed in 1929, formally opening its doors on July 4th. It was built in the Egyptian Revival style by architects and fellow Legionnaires, Gene and Joe Weston, also known for the NRHP listed Amelia Earhart Library. The property features an iconic art-deco bar that has since become a popular filming location. Its 6,000 square foot theater has been a popular venue for studios to introduce new stars to the veteran community since its inception, and recently completed a multi-million dollar renovation to bring it up to date with modern digital sound and projection technology in 2019.Unlike many posts around the country, Post 43 has been able to maintain its relevancy into the 21st century, attracting many of the recent veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan with its forward thinking leadership continuing to partner with Hollywood and assist transitioning veterans into the many technical roles needed in Hollywood.The property was recognized by the City of Los Angeles, Cultural Heritage Commission, Cultural Affairs Department Historic-Cultural Monument No. 462 on November 3, 1989, and by the Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical Society landmark #101 in 2010.
