Hollywood Wax Museum- Terminator 2

After a long break from the blog, here's a quick post from the Hollywood Wax Museum. This shot shows former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in a scene from Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Because he played the same character in this series of movies, some entertainment wax museums used the same figure and just changed the title of the movie to make their figures seem more relevant.



Another view of the figure which shows more of its leather outfit.


I plan to start posting again since the hectic schedule I've had the past few months has somewhat gone back to normal.

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.
