* Walk of Fame 28 images Created 4 Oct 2019
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an 18-block series of sidewalks along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood. It serves as a permanent public monument to achievement in the entertainment industry. More than 2,400 terrazzo and brass stars are embedded at 6-foot intervals over a combined 1.7 miles. The stars bear the names of actors, musicians, directors, producers, theatrical groups, fictional characters, and others recognized by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for their contributions.
The Walk is maintained by the Hollywood Historic Trust. It runs 1.3 miles east to west on Hollywood Blvd from North Gower to North La Brea, including a short segment of Marshfield Way that slices diagonally between Hollywood and La Brea, and 0.4 miles north to south on Vine Street between Yucca Street and Sunset Blvd.
Implemented in 1958 and officially dedicated in 1960, there are over 2,400 stars to date. There are four categories of recognition: motion picture, television, recording, and radio. Participants may be honored in multiple categories. Each installation consists of a coral-pink terrazzo star rimmed with brass, inlaid into a charcoal colored terrazzo background. In the upper portion of the pink star field, the name of the honoree is inlaid in brass block letters. Below the inscription, in the lower half of the star field, a round inlaid brass emblem indicates the category of the honoree's contributions. The Walk of Fame is an Historic Cultural Monument.
