This color photo of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre was taken when “The Fugitive Kind” starring Marlon Brando and written by Tennessee Williams was playing in May and June of 1960. That awning stretching from the front door to the curb looks to be quite elaborate, with ornamentation on the top and at the end, that white cross facing the street, and the way the roof curls up at the edges. Someone went to a lot of trouble!
Was this before the Hollywood Stars were in the sidewalk? I can’t see any.
The first ceremony was in February of that same year, but at Hollywood and Highland, and so out of the frame of this photo.
