Musée Grévin- Madame Laetitia entouree de sa famille

Here's a photo from the Musée Grévin in Paris. The scene is entitled Madame Laetitia entouree de sa famille, which shows Laetitia Bonaparte with her family. Her son Napoleon stands behind her, as well as her other children. She lived to be 85 years old, and died in 1836.

A closer view of some of the family.

Stars Hall of Fame Wax Museum- Sunset Boulevard

This shot from the Stars Hall of Fame Wax Museum in shows a scene from the 1950 film Sunset Boulevard. The film stars Gloria Swanson, Williams Holden and Erich von Stroheim. The film noir has been praised as on of the top films in motion picture history by the American Film Institute.

A closer view of the three stars. Many of the sets at the Stars Hall of Fame were identical to their counterparts at Movieland, and this tableaux seems to be no exception. I sometimes wonder if they used some of the same photos for both attractions. If so, the subtle differences in sets were be lost.

Movieland Wax Museum- Donny and Marie

The brother and sister duo of Donny and Marie Osmond are seen here at the Movieland Wax Museum. The pair hosted their own variety show from 1976-1979 and have been in the entertainment spotlight off and on ever since. This scene represents their 1998 talk show of the same name.

Here is Donny Osmond with his arms crossed.

A close up on the doll, Adora Belle. Even the Disney parks have sold Marie's line of dolls.

A clapboard sign of their show.

One more view of the two figures. They were sold together at the Movieland auction for $1,700. Exact copies of these two figures are still available to view at the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf. Both museums had the same owner and most figures from the 1990s and 2000s had duplicates.
