Some women had set up a memorial by Celia Cruz's star: flowers, music, signs. Later, an Asian news crew reported from Bruce Lee's star (30th anniversary of his death). Unemployed actors dressed as Superman, Charlie Chan, and a Stormtrooper posed for photos in exchange for tips. Twenty ounces of soda: $1.75. A movie: $11. Yikes.
