Hollywood Walk of Fame - Fab!

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is just plain fun. Not only is it fun, but it is one of the few really thrilling attractions in the Los Angeles area that is free. Imagine over 2400 stars on the Walk featuring your favorite celebrities. Not only will you find people from Hugh Heffner to Shirley Temple,but you'll also find animated characters like Mickey Mouse.

The Walk was created in the late 1950's and opened in 1960. The Walk is approximately 18 blocks long (1.3 miles) and is located on Hollywood Blvd and Vine. Each star on the walk has five points - each point representing the five categories of the entertainment industry: motion picture, broadcast television, theater,radio and record/recording. Gene Autry is the only person to have a star in all five categories.

You must also check out thehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif hand and footprints in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater. Here, the stars (such as Marilyn Monroe) have written their names in the cement and placed their hands and feet in the cement as well. It's just an exciting experience to imagine all of these legends were once in this very spot!

Check out the wax museum nearby, too. It's just a great time seeing all of the stars and having the opportunity to pose with them (however, silly). There is a charge for the wax museum so make sure you have the time to really take int he attraction.

This will be an adventure you won't forget!
