Hollywood Chinese Theater

Posted by Jasper in History, Trivia

This is the world’s most famous theater — and a must-see for any Hollywood tourist.
It was first opened in 1927, and since then, it’s been visited by millions of people. There are plans to improve its facilities and turn it into a state of the art entertainment complex. Some are even lobbying to make it the permanent home of the Academy Awards.

Until that happens, guests are already happy to look at the handprints outside, especially since there’s no charge. You can also watch some of Hollywood’s first motion pictures. (The sound quality is incredible, and the screen really makes you think that you’re jumping into another era.)

True Hollywood trivia addicts can look at the full list of handprint ceremonies or even buy the book.

    I’m interested in finding out if the footprints of the non-famous talent contest winner are still in the Grauman’s Chinese courtyard, and if so, if the guy is still alive and where he is and what he’s doing. Anybody know anything about this guy?
