Sid Grauman was a San Francisco showman who came to Los Angeles and
built three major houses, the Million Dollar, the Egyptian, and the
Chinese. The theater has hosted many film premieres, but is most famous
for the hand and footprints (and hoofprints and nose prints and other
types of prints) in the forecourt.
Widely loved singing cowboy Roy Rogers, the King of the Cowboys,
left his hand, foot, and revolver prints in the forecourt of Grauman's
Chinese on 21-April-1949. His trusty steed Trigger left his hoofprints.
Roy's wife Dale Evans wrote his theme song, "Happy Trails." DSCN4149.
I took this on 18-July-2009.
