Chewbacca Assaults Marilyn At Kodak Theater


(CBS) HOLLYWOOD, Calif. A Chewbacca impersonator sexually assaulted a Marilyn Monroe impersonator in front of the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood in June. The wookie then evaded arrest, police said.

According to an officer with the LAPD, Chewbacca allegedly took the platinum-coiffed actress's hand and placed it on his private parts as the characters performed for tips from tourists.

The sidewalk in front of the Kodak Theater, which is part of the Hollywood at Highland complex, is often crowded with characters that pose for tourist cameras and tips. On occasion, police have been sent to the complex to separate feuding actors.

Earlier in the year, police arrested an actor in a Chewbacca costume after a tour guide told him to stop harassing a pair of Japanese tourists. Police are unsure if the same wookie is involved in today's assault.

The premiere of the new "Harry Potter" movie was under way during the alleged altercation, said Los Angeles police Sgt. David Torres.

1. Those "actors" are sort of a nuisance there.

They are beggars, the whole thing is pathetic and shabby, like the rest of Hollywood.

3. "the whole thing is pathetic and shabby, like the rest of Hollywood"

Your phrasing and point really struck me.

12. Not really fair, not really true.

The neighborhood has been significantly cleaned up over the last few years, and the tourists LOVE the costumed characters. The police are very strict on the no harassment laws, and the characters pretty much respect it.

This is my neighborhood--I see this on a daily basis. And it's a lovely place to live.

5. In an infinite universe, "everything" is not just possible, it is INEVITABLE.

Somewhere, there's a planet where monkey wrenches grow on trees,
and a planet where all languages are in Iambic Pentameter;
a planet where the Great Masters painted upon black velvet,
and a planet ruled by limbless monkeys with multiple prehensile tails.....

And somewhere, way, WAAAAY off in the "least likely" corners of
all the infinite potential realities, there's a planet where a
sidewalk squabble between a Marilyn-impersonator and a guy in a
Chewbacca costume is considered NEWSWORTHY.

Infinity is stranger than fiction, and that's a FACT...somewhere.

9. The suspect eluded police by entering a nearby Star Wars convention.

However, several Ewoks ratted him out.
