Quentin Tarantino To Leave Handprints, Footprints In Front Of TCL Chinese Theatre

HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA.com) — Quentin Tarantino is about to make another permanent mark on Hollywood.

The filmmaker will become the 292nd artist to be immortalized in front of the TCL Chinese Theatre when he places his handprints and footprints in cement on Tuesday, an honor that comes less than a month after Tarantino received the 2,569th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Austrian actor and Tarantino favorite Christoph Waltz, who appeared with the director when he received his star on Dec. 21, will make the introduction speech for this honor as well.

Tuesday's ceremony at the theater -- formerly called Grauman's Chinese Theatre -- at 6925 Hollywood Boulevard starts at 11 a.m.

The two-time Oscar winner was born March 27, 1963 and raised in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. He dropped out of Harbor City's Narbonne High School and became an usher in a pornographic theater in Torrance by lying about his age.

He began his filmmaking career by selling the script for the 1992 heist film, "Reservoir Dogs," which brought him Independent Spirit Award nominations for best director and best first feature, which he shared with producer Lawrence Bender. His latest film, "The Hateful Eight," is in theaters now.
