Is that amazing work or what?! The mural above is on Franklin Avenue in Los Angeles, California. There’s something in the eyes that captures both James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor. Click HERE to see more murals featuring James Dean. Marilyn Monroe’s also featured on several.
While I’m thrilled to see my guy James on so many, I’m surprised there aren’t more with my favorite gals Rita Hayworth, Audrey Hepburn, Ava Gardner and (of course) Lucille Ball. Oh well, at least James is featured heavily – and I spied Clark Gable on one, too. He’s another big favorite of mine. He’s one of the few actors from that period of time that seemed like a totally normal Joe. Little wonder he didn’t hang out off set much with Vivien Leigh – one of the most peculiar of ‘em all! Beautiful? Absolutely. Talented? Definitely. One of my favorite actresses? You betcha. But normal? Nah. Loonier than a bed bug.
There’s one of James Dean with W.C. Fields and a few others and there are two of them who I can’t identify for the life of me – and I usually know Hollywood inside out! The longer I stare at it, the further they get from me, though.
There’s a gorgeous mural from a McDonald’s in Eagle Rock, California too. Be sure to check that one out.
Oh great, now I’m McCraving a McChicken, McFries and a McDrink. I pretty much know what’s for lunch.
