Scenes (and improv) take place throughout the day on both Hollywood Blvd. and Sunset Blvd.
See photos, below, of Victoria Throckmorton, Goddess of the Silver Screen and Queen of a Thousand Faces. Some might call her a faded star (or a has-been) but none can deny the sheer height she bring to Hollywood - her hat, Bernard, is nearly 4 feet tall. See photos below.
