The Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard opened with the premiere of Cecil B. DeMille's "King of Kings" on May 18 in 1927. How wonderful to open my latest film "
Going Down in LA-LA Land" -- a film about Hollywood -- exactly 85 years later (on the day!) at this historic Hollywood theater.
With my two wonderful super-supportive stars Matthew Ludwinski and Allison Lane outside the Chinese Theatre.

| We were featured on the huge LCD screen outside the theater right there on Hollywood Blvd. So cool! |
Thanks so much to everyone -- including many in the cast and crew -- who showed up to our opening night screening and red carpet premiere party at the Andaz Hotel on Sunset Blvd (The Andaz has its own iconic history having been nicknamed the Riot Hotel in the 60s when it was the home away from home to many hard-partying rock stars, including Jim Morrison who famously dangled from his balcony, and Keith Richards who threw the hotel room TV down from his).
