More than 2,400 five-pointed terrazzo and brass stars are embedded in sidewalks along 15 blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street in Hollywood.
You’ll see names of actors, musicians, directors, producers, and musical and theater groups.
The brass stars include an emblem of a TV, a radio microphone, or a movie camera, to inform passersby of which medium the recipient was most famous for.
“I just think they would get a kick out of seeing all these names in the sidewalk, along with what field they were awarded the star for,” says retail clerk Martha Wellington. “This is a walk down the history of America’s imagination.”
The Walk of Fame is administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and maintained by the Hollywood Historic Trust.
