LOS ANGELES (AP) - From the street it may look like just another sprawling Los Angeles apartment complex, but to a kid with dreams of stardom, it's the Emerald City at the end of the Yellow Brick Road.
Oakwood Toluca Hills is the place where wannabe child stars arrive by the hundreds every year to take up residence as they take a shot at becoming famous.
"Everyone in the business, everyone who knows about acting, knows about it," says teen star Devon Werkheiser, who arrived with his mother four years ago and one small film role to his credit. He left for better digs after having landed the starring role in one of the most popular teen shows on television, Nickelodeon's "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide."
