The $55 million Madame Tussauds Hollywood celebrated a construction milestone toward its completion next year on Hollywood Blvd., a location that's destined to become one of the area's major attractions. Two of the planned attraction's figures, Jamie Foxx and Beyonce Knowles, from the 80-plus wax figure collection were unveiled by Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa, city officials and reps from Madame Tussauds Hollywood, Inc.
