It was a very full day, visting Hollywood, Venice Beach and Beverly Hills.  I saw the  Hollywood  Walk of  Fame. I couldn't find any of the stars that I wanted to see (Harrison Ford, The Beatles, and Grace Kelly) - I only  had half an hour, but was able to get a photo with Steven Spielberg's  star.

I couldn't find Marilyn Monroe's handprints, but found the handprints of Harrison Ford, Julie Andrews, C3PO and R2D2, and the Harry Potter hand, foot and wand prints in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater.
