Unlike the Walk of Fame, which lines the sidewalks, the handprint ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre is a far more exclusive honor. In recent years there have been a surge of ceremonies paid for by the studios for publicity, however a special committee is still responsible for which stars / celebrities end up in the forecourt. On our Pacific Coast road trip, Mike and I stayed at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel just across the street before continuing our journey to San Diego. This part of Los Angeles is obviously tourist central, but if you're after that perfect highlight reel this is the place to wander and soak up the stereotypes when you're short on time.
