History
[edit]The Porn Block of Fame was originally located at 8920 W. Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California, at the entry to Hustler's flagship store. The Block of Fame was unveiled on December 3, 1998, less than a year after the store's opening. Larry Flynt, Marilyn Chambers, and Ron Jeremy attended the unveiling.[1]
Both the Porn Block of Fame and Hustler Store moved to 6540 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California in 2016, after Gwyneth Paltrow bought the original location and kicked the business out. The Porn Block of Fame reopened on April 9, 2016.[2][3]
