Hollywood, CA - December 09, 2010 -- From the Heart of Hollywood, starting at Hollywood Blvd and Orange, the Hollywood Santa Christmas Parade was greeted by over fifty thousand fans cheering celebrities like Erik Estrada, Laura McKenzie, Donna Mills, Dick Van Dyke, Corbin Bernsen, Susan Sullivan, Rip Taylor, Vivica Fox, Kevin Eubanks and Stephanie Powers. Led by parade Grand Marshall Larry King, the Hollywood Santa Christmas Parade was sponsored by Associated Television, Toys for Tots and the City of Los Angeles.
Two of the balloon entries, carried by more than 60 handlers including the Kiwanis Key Club members, members from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a local high school basketball team and local businessmen - represented Stories from the Golden Age, a line of 80 books written by master storyteller L. Ron Hubbard during America's golden age of pulp fiction.
Parade host Laura McKenzie, (from World's Funniest Moments) introduced the two floats, telling co-host Erik Estrada (from the TV show CHIPs), "Floating next to the treasure is Captain Tom Bristol, the main character from L. Ron Hubbard's swashbuckling tale Under the Black Ensign." (http://www.GoldenAgeStories.com/seaadventure) She went on to say that this story is one of Hubbard's "80 books filled with adventure, mystery, science fiction and fantasy."
