Everyone, including characters who have lived in the city for a long time, pronounces Los Angeles with a soft g, the way it is pronounced in modern times. In the early and mid 20th century, locals preferred the hard g (closer to the original Spanish name) so it sounded like Los Angle Iss. Although the original pronunciation was losing out by the 1940s (due to an immigration of Easterners such as Elizabeth Short who were unfamiliar with the name), it was still in use and can even be heard in a few movies and radio programs made as late as the 1950s.
