Print Like many an Angeleno, the city’s famed Hollywood sign has undergone its share of cosmetic makeovers. In both 1976 and 2017, cannabis advocates amended the sign to read “Hollyweed” — and as recently as February, a group led by model Julia Rose rechristened the sign “Hollyboob” to promote breast cancer awareness. On the afternoon of Friday, April 2, a new posse of pranksters returned to accessorize the sign, this time by draping a painting of a cow across the first “O,” which stands 45 feet high by 33 feet wide. After the police pursued the perpetrators via helicopter, then on foot, three suspects were apprehended: visual artist Danny Cole, photographer Landon Yost and Greg Aram, the singer-songwriter behind the L.A. alt-rock band Junior Varsity.
