An array of murals provide diversion to the urban streetscape. Eloy Torrez "Legends of Cinema" graces the front of Hollywood High's Auditorium on Highland Ave. with the recent addition of HH alum, John Ritter. On Hudson north of Hollywood Boulevard see Alfredo de Batuc’s "A Tribute to Delores Del Rio". Thomas Suriya's "You Are The Star" is at southwest corner of Wilcox and Hollywood Blvd. For a mural that requires a little more thought, travel two blocks north on Argyle and Franklin see an untitled mural by the late Dan Collins. Noted marine artist Wyland has "gone Hollywood” painting a whale mural on Gower at Willoughby (on a Paramount soundstage wall). See George Sportelli’s Nancy Sinatra off Highland Avenue opposite Hollywood High, Tony Curtis on the Hollywood Freeway eastbound and Frank Sinatra on east side of Las Palmas, just south of Hollywood Blvd. Artist Hector Ponce’s 2-mural tribute to Hollywood faces west near Santa Monica Blvd. and Wilton. An exciting aerosol art display can be seen on Gower just south of Santa Monica Blvd.
