Presenting the portraits of the Master Masons, Jean Klossner and John Tartaglia. The two men who dedicated a combined 60 years of service to Hollywood. Jean Klossner also known as "Mr. Footprint" started the footprinting tradition, by 1927, in addition to part-taking in the construction of the Chinese Theatre in 1926. Some 30 years, John Tartaglia would be the man to come to Hollywood's rescue to carry on the world-famous tradition to immortalize the prints of the most famous actors in Hollywood!
Currently, the master masons are contracted workers, to whom we would also like to give credit, such as: Sassan Shikoori (cement artist and star maker)
