Jenny Wright is strolling Hollywood Blvd. in "I, Madman" (Trans World Entertainment, 1989). Over on the right that's Mann's Chinese Twin, 6915 Hollywood Blvd. The original 1927 vintage Grauman's Chinese is beyond. That's part of the Paramount Theatre marquee just above Jenny's head.
The film is about a killer from the 1950s pulp novels Jenny's character has been reading who comes to life. It also features Clayton Rohner, Randall William Cook and Stephanie Hodge. It was directed by Tibor Takács. The cinematography was by Bryan England.
See the pages about the Chinese Twin and Grauman's Chinese on the Los Angeles Theatres site for a history of these venues. The 1927 vintage Grauman's house is still going strong as a first run Imax venue. The Twin came down in 1999 for construction of the Hollywood and Highland mall, a complex now rebranded as Ovation. You might also want to check out the pages about the Paramount, now back to its original El Capitan name.
Later, Jenny is en route to the Guaranty Building, just a few doors away from the Vine Theatre at 6321 Hollywood Blvd. Thanks to Eric Schaefer for spotting the theatres in the film and getting the screenshots.
See the page about the Vine Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site. The "Live Nude Show" beyond the Vine is for the Cave Adult Theatre, a venue covered on our Storefront Porno page.
