Major Hollywood Attractions
Worldatlas.com suggests some of the best things to do in Hollywood, California, a famous LA neighborhood that's been the backdrop and production site for countless movies and television shows.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame
stretches for 18 blocks of sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard, through the heart of Glitter City. Over 2,000 stars are imbedded in the walk for the most famous actors and actresses past and present. The Hollywood Walk of Fame was commissioned as part of a larger 'facelift' operation for the Los Angeles area in the 1950’s and has since become a part of Hollywood legend and California history.
Grauman's Chinese Theater,
a famous California landmark was opened on Hollywood Boulevard in 1927 with the premier of Cecil B. DeMille's 'The King of Kings'. Grauman’s Theater is most famous for the over 200 concrete blocks in front of the theater containing the signatures, hand prints, and foot prints of the most popular stars of stage and screen from the 1920’s through today.
The Hollywood Wax Museum
features amazingly life-like reproductions of the most famous movie stars to grace the Silver Screen. Famous Californians from today and bygone eras feature exacting detail of expression, gesture, and costume. Another ‘must see’ on the walk down Hollywood Boulevard.
