Did you know that today's TCL Chinese Theatre has had multiple names?
The theatre's original name, "Grauman's Chinese Theatre", lasted for over 45 years. In 1973, it was
renamed "Mann's Chinese Theatre". The name lasted for almost 30 years before the theatre went back to
its original name. Then, in 2013, naming rights were purchased by TCL Corporation, hence today's name!
Although we have been several times through the years, it is always a fun place to visit. Like so many
others, we usually spend some of our time searching the signatures, hand prints, footprints and even
sayings found in the cement tiles in front of the theatre.
