Mel Brooks shows off his hands, including 11 fingers, after leaving his handprints at Hollywood's famed Chinese Theatre.Today
Rather than just leaving behind a standard 10-finger set of handprints, the writer-director-actor decided to crank it up to 11 — with the help of a prosthetic finger on his left hand.
