Hollywood! We did all the touristy stuff: Sid Grauman’s Chinese Theater, the old Max Factor Building (now the Hollywood Museum), the Dolby Theater where the Oscars are held annually, and the Hollywood Museum of Illusions.
- “You made my day” Clint Eastwood
- Mike’s feet are bigger than John Wayne’s cowboy boot?!
- Max Factor created this contraption to measure any facial assymetry, so he could correct it with makeup. Ouch.
- Remember Elizabeth Taylor made a fortune on endorsements.
- In 1953, Marilyn Monroe graced the first cover of Playboy. A first edition is now worth more than $40,000 USD.
- Pee Wee Herman’s suit!
- The actual bottle from “I Dream of Jeannie”
- One of four pairs of ruby slippers made for the Wizard of Oz. These are the ones she clicked to go home – they have the magic!
- Diamonds are a girls best friend, but rhinestones are what Marilyn wore when she sang the song.
- Mike sitting in the swanky seats at the Dolby Theater.
- It’s spelled “DiCaprio”, so make sure you correctly engrave the Oscar.
- The only acting tie in Oscar history was in 1969 for Streisand in Funny Girl and Hepburn for Lion in Winter.
- In the VIP Oscar lounge, with a movie behind me showing how the Oscar is made.
- A little Hollywood magic at the House of Illusions.
- Razzmatazz for a big Hollywood finish!
