Even though this famous recording studio is not open to the public, it is worth a visit to gaze at its unique circular design, which looks like a stack of old 45s.

Designed and built to look like a stack of records, Capitol Records is a must-see Hollywood experience. Legends have recorded here over the decades which also makes it a great photo-op. And The Beatles stars are in front of the building on Vine Street. George Vreeland Hill

We began a splendid day on the Blvd with an early morning breakfast in the courtyard of the charming Chateau Marmont. Then joined Hollywood Blvd at Laurel Canyon and headed eastwards. In the glorious morning sunshine great vistas of palm tree lined routes were to be seen. We took a detour along Fuller Ave to Runyon Canyon Park and enjoyed a stroll there. A brand of bottled water was being promoted close to the entrance and we gratefully accepted a few containers. Famous for its theatres, we saw some of the best - Grauman's Chinese, El Capitan, Dolby and Pantages. At the latter we booked for a performance of Anastasia. A delicious lunch was in California Pizza Kitchen, in Hollywood and Highland. From where we had great views of the Hollywood Sign. We enjoyed a visit to Madame Tussauds where the most famous stars, past and current, are wonderfully portrayed. Along the Walk of Fame it was fun identifying so many of the illustrious entertainers from movies and music. Close by is the Hollywood Museum in the beautiful former Max Factor building, where we spent an absorbing hour or so. There are numerous lovely churches of various faiths along the thoroughfare. Some we visited included St. Thomas the Apostle, Mosaic, Hollywood United Methodist and First Presbyterian. The final museum we toured was the Museum of Death, which we found quite engaging.
