The Hollywood Christmas Parade was technically first held in 1928, ... Comedian Joe E. Brown was the first grand marshal in 1932, a role later filled by luminaries such as Bob Hope, Gene Autry and Jimmy Stewart, among others.
Wow. That an unbeatable line up. I like to see this years if they could do it with out politics.
Joe E. Brown was a big Pittsburgh Pirates guy. Well, nobody’s perfect.
