Watch a movie in the famous Chinese Theatre, where movie stars have gathered for Hollywood premiers since the 1920s. Find the autographs of your favorite celebrity or try to match your hands and feet to those the stars have left in the concrete walkway. This beautiful theater and cultural attraction was designed to resemble a miniature Chinese palace, to make moviegoers feel like royalty.
