Hamtramck has a long Hollywood connection

Everyone knows how cool Hamtramck is these days, even Hollywood. But then again Tinsletown has known that for a while.

Excerpt:

Drew Barrymore is coming to Hamtramck to film a movie.

So what else is new?

Actually, Hollywood stars don’t make it to these parts very often, but they do come here. Major stars like Gene Hackman, Al Pacino and even Eminem have graced the streets of Hamtramck.

This city has a long history of Hollywood connections going back to the 1930s.
