(More customer reviews)For nearly 40 years, my Grandfather, Mr. Jean W, Klossner performed the footprint ceremony at Grauman's Chinese.
While the Book and documentary provide some history, they both fail to show the true inception of the idea, itself.
There are many, many untold stories reveled to family members, but not passed on to the general public ..
for example, Mr. Grauman's pet duck prints are there, the Marx Bros had a melee, which resulted in a re-make of their
ceremony. Mr. Klossners own handprint is there, as well as my Mother's (Joan of Arc), there is one set of prints which
is upside-down from all the rest, Charlie Chaplain's prints were removed, but remain buried in my Aunt's back yard in Hollywood.
Stories that were related to several of our family members, (only 4 of whom survive today), but were never told to the
general public .... we have never been asked, nor interviewed .... so sadly, these stories will probably die with us.
