 LOS ANGELES - It was fitting that Johnny Grant would be memorialized on Hollywood Boulevard. After all, Grant had been honorary mayor of Hollywood since 1980. He also was master of ceremonies at more than 500 Hollywood Walk of Fame star unveilings, traveled with Bob Hope to entertain troops in four wars and saved the Hollywood Christmas parade from extinction more than once. On Thursday, famous friends and fans of Grant, who died Jan. 9 at age 84, gathered to remember him at the venerable Pantages Theater on Hollywood Boulevard. The foyer told his life story in scores of photographs of Walk of Fame events, mementos of his numerous trips overseas to entertain soldiers, his awards and other memorabilia. Angie Dickinson, Connie Stevens, Stefanie Powers, Rhonda Fleming and Mamie Van Doren were among many celebrities who turned out, along with an Army band and a military color guard.
