Grauman’s Chinese Theater showing “The Racers,” Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, February 1955

Grauman's Chinese Theater showing "The Racers," Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, February 1955I love the golden glow that Grauman’s Chinese Theatre radiates across a nighttime Hollywood Boulevard in this shot from 1955, when Twentieth Century-Fox’s “The Racers” was playing mid February to early March. That movie starred Kirk Douglas; his love interest was Bella Darvi, the mistress of Fox’s Darryl Zanuck with whom he ran away to Europe the following year. Maybe this movie helped make his decision—it bombed badly.

  1. I can’t get enough old downtown Hollywood photos. My house was built where the Roosevelt Hotel pool is now and moved up Hollywood Blvd in 1947. Howard Duff lived in it in 1945 when he was doing Sam Spade on NBC radio.
