The Last Hollywood Star

The last star on the north east corner of Boulevard and La Brea. Picture and details below the jump.

It’s for The Dead End Kids — a group of actors in a play on Broadway in 1935.

The Broadway play, written by Sidney Kingsley, transferred to film with its original Broadway cast. Various groups of kids under the same name made 89 films and three serials for four different studios during their 21 year long film career.

The Ahmanson in Los Angeles brought the original cast together at a performance featuring descendants of the original show.
