Hollywood at Your Feet: The Story of the World-Famous Chinese Theatre

Rating:
Summary: SAVE YOUR MONEY!
Review: The pictures are nice but that's where it ends! My grandfather, JEAN KLOSSNER built the Chinese theater in 1926-27 and then went on to perform the footprint ceremonies for Forty years (I assisted him in '53-'54) and I can tell you that these authors failed to do their homework! When you choose to write about a subject you should at least know something about it! A little research at the files of the Hollywood Chamber of commerce would have proved invaluable to these people who apparently were more interested in deadlines than facts. There are five surviving members of our family who remember "Grandpa Jean" or "Mr. Footprint" as Hollywood knew him, and any one of us could have provided much more insight to the facts, trivia and stories. These authors missed so much of the real stories (They weren't there!) that the book is a shell of what it could have been..... if they only had done some research.....JR

Review: What a wonderful book - as the Library Journal mentions it is an absolute must for movie buffs. Conscientiously written, I have found it to be an end-all reference source for years...and so much fun. Highly recommended!
