Most movie fans are aware of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard and the time-honored tradition of the stars putting their hands, feet, and various other parts into wet cement so that us regular mortals can pay tribute to these fabulous gray slabs that they leave behind. This 1954 image shows “Prince Valiant” on the Grauman's marquee; a feature film starring Robert Wagner and Janet Leigh (in case you didn't get enough of her yesterday).
This rare shot shows the cement being prepared for a ceremony in the forecourt of the theatre; I wonder what star it was for? Based on the information I have, it was taken by a gentlemen who was stationed at Camp Pendleton from 1951-1953. He would often go to Hollywood while on leave.
Could it have been Marilyn? We may never know, but for purposes of this story, let's just say yes!
