Beauty Break: Happy 90th Birthday to the Grauman's Chinese!
Thursday, May 18, 2017 at 6:00PM 
One of my favorite places in Hollywood turned 90 years old today. The Grauman's Chinese Theater, which often houses premieres and events, opened on this day in 1927, so its centennial is just ten years away. It's currently known as the TCL Theater and was called the Mann Theater before that but it's still popularly known as Grauman's. You can rename something as perks for modern corporations but sometimes the original name hangs around (as well as it should). Don't even get me started on beautiful Broadway theaters chucking their iconic stage giant names for "American Airlines Theater" or whatnot. DO NOT GET ME STARTED.
The Grauman's most familiar pop culture aspect is its large collection of cement tiles out front bearing the handprints of movie stars from all eras. So it's time for a Beauty Break. Which of these ceremonies after the jump do you most wish you had been at?
Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Julie Andrews
Sandra Bullock
Gloria Swanson
Oscar's most beloved costume designer Edith Head 
YA cement handed mania with the casts of Hunger Games and Twilight
Shirley Maclaine and Jack Lemmon for Irma La Douce 
Mickey & Judy, the most popular teen stars of their day
our beloved Natalie Wood
Liz & Rock for "Giant"
Dwayne Johnson
and we saved Meryl Streep for last!

No Contest!!! Natalie Wood
I think it's super cool that Edith Head got honored that way.
Natalie Wood. Always Natalie Wood.
Marilyn and Jane, Meryl and Natalie. Is Jessica just standing somewhere with dirty hands?
Edith Head! OMG, was she the model for Edna Mode in The Incredibles?
Pam -- yes, she was. well a mix of her and Linda Hunt I believe they said.
N-perfect!
Caity Weaver's article in GQ on Johnson is pretty great.
Meryl Streep. Always.
God the fact that the Hunger Games and Twilight casts get to be included in this group is so wrong.
Could Julie Andrews be any more adorable?
My feet are the same size as Warren Beatty!!! /hair pouf like "naturally curly hair" Frieda
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, no contest. I absolutely love that Edith Head is included, but how embarrassing that ciphers like Liam Hemsworth and Taylor Lautner have been immortalized this way. These are NOT movie stars/legends and do NOT belong here. (If the Star Wars prequels got Hayden Christensen in there, too, I may vomit.)
They're all cute, tbh. I mean it's a GREAT honor, how can you NOT be happy???
Though if I could choose, it'd for sure be Meryl and/or Marylin. Always.
Definitely Meryl. She exudes joy!
