The Hollywood Walk of Fame consists of the famous "stars" in the sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard from Gower Street to La Brea Avenue, and on Vine Street from Yucca Street to Sunset Boulevard.
Made of pink terrazzo and brass, Hollywood Walk of Fame stars commemorate famous individuals in television, radio, film, music and drama. An icon set into the star denotes the category the person is being honored in, and a few people get more than one star. Cowboy and singer Gene Autry earned fame and the most stars, with one in each category.
Many visitors are content to walk down the sidewalks calling each other's attention to names of fame they recognize, but if you want to seek out and photograph the stars of your favorite stars, you'll save a lot of time if you're prepared. Consult the "official" directory which is organized by name or find them on a map.
Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremonies
There's always a ceremony when a Hollywood Walk of Fame star is installed, and the honoree must attend. If one of your favorite celebs is being added, it's a good time to see them in person.
To find out if a Walk of Fame ceremony is scheduled during your visit, you can check the schedule online or call the Hollywood Walk of Fame information line at 323-469-8311.
Hollywood Walk of Fame Review
We rate the Hollywood Walk of Fame 3 out of 5. No matter how much I say I'm not star-struck, I still enjoy seeing my favorite performers' names and watching how other people react to it. In fact, people-watching may be the best thing to do.
