About Hollywood Star Walk

The Los Angeles Times' Hollywood Star Walk provides both a virtual tour of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a database of the stars and organizations enshrined on the sidewalks along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street.

Questions and Answers:

How was this site created, when was the walk of fame created, how are stars awarded, how many different kinds of stars are there, who has the most stars on the walk of fame, why doesn't clint eastwood have a star, how do you determine dates of birth and death and locations, how does grauman’s chinese theatre differ, where did the biographies for the project come from.

The Hollywood Star Walk virtual tour follows the actual order of the more than 2,400 terrazzo stars on the Walk of Fame, which stretches along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. This order was created based on work by Times researchers to catalogue the locations and generate points on a map for each. Each star was photographed.

The virtual tour is powered by an in-depth database —created using more than a century of the archives of the Los Angeles Times. On the database pages, the locations of the terrazzo stars appear on a map as close as possible to their precise location. In addition, those maps may include other places meaningful in the star’s life.

Because some entertainers have been awarded stars in multiple fields, about 2,200 individuals or groups are represented among the more than 2,400 Walk of Fame stars.

As The Times continues to add biographies, articles and photos, readers are invited to help make connections between stars and the people and places that were meaningful to them.

As new stars are awarded, they will be added.

The Times was unable to locate three stars listed by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, those honoring Richard Crooks and the film career of Geraldine Farrar , who also has a star for her music career, on the west side of the 1700 block of Vine Street. Each still has a page in the database.

Since its beginning in 1960, the Walk of Fame has proved a perennial draw to tourists eager to see the stars. An estimated 10 million visitors come each year to the 18-block stretch.

The Walk of Fame was conceived in the 1950s by business leaders in Hollywood as a way to beautify the area’s historic core.

The groundbreaking ceremony on Feb. 8, 1960 featured actresses Linda Darnell and Gigi Perreau , as well as veteran actors Francis X. Bushman and Charles Coburn , using shovels to scoop up the dirt.

In addition, about 500 stars on the walk are currently blank, essentially acting as placeholders for future honorees.

Although the area near the famed intersection of Hollywood and Vine had been a central point for the fledgling movie industry prior to World War II, the area’s glamour had long since faded by the time producer Stanley Kramer’s star became the first actually set into the sidewalk on March 28, 1960.

The original plans called for 1,529 of the biggest stars of film, stage, radio, television and music to eventually be immortalized in the concrete using brass set in salmon-colored terrazzo stars surrounded by black backgrounds.

As of July 2013, The Times found more than 2,400 stars on the walk, representing 2,200 individuals or organizations.

Anyone, including a fan, is allowed to nominate a candidate , however the celebrity must agree to be considered. If chosen, a star, or their sponsor, has to pay a fee for the ceremony, currently $30,000 .

The initial project cost about $1.2 million and was sponsored by the Hollywood Property Owners Assn. and the Hollywood Improvement Assn. A group of Hollywood heavyweights, including Cecil B. DeMille , Samuel Goldwyn , Jesse Lasky , Daily Variety editor Joe Schoenfeld, Walt Disney , Hal Roach , Mack Sennett and Walter Lantz chose the initial group of 500 inductees.

"Research for the nominations went back as far as 1912," according to a 1957 Times article on the process. "It was done by the Motion Picture Producers Assn. and included not only featured stars, but also comedians of the old two-reeler days, cartoon charades, top films down through the years and producers and directors."

Afterward, a secret five-member committee, chaired for many years by the late Johnny Grant , honorary mayor of Hollywood, voted on applications, using criteria such as "longevity in the entertainment industry" and "contributions made to the show business community."

Currently, committee members meet each June and vote in an average of 20 new stars, according to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Posthumous nominations are accepted no sooner than five years after a person’s death and only one posthumous award is granted annually.

Once accepted, the star being honored has five years to schedule a ceremony. Living stars must show up in person.

Seven types of stars can be found on the Walk of Fame.

Fifteen "special stars," have been awarded to events or companies, including the 1969 Apollo moon landing and news organizations such as the Los Angeles Times and Variety . There is even a star for well-known lingerie model Victoria’s Secret Angels which was granted in 2007 to the well-known lingerie wearing models.

Gene Autry is the only person to be awarded stars in the five fields recognized on the Walk of Fame: film, TV, radio, live performance and music. During his lifetime, Autry emerged as both a top money-making entertainer and a powerful businessman. As his 1998 obituary said, "He was enormously successful at almost anything he tried—radio, records, songwriting, television, real estate and business, as well as movies and museums."

The late Bob Hope and the late romantic crooner Tony Martin are next with four stars each. Thirty-three people, including Frank Sinatra , Danny Kaye and Jack Benny , have been awarded stars in three fields.

Only two women have three stars, Dinah Shore and Gale Storm , a radio and television star best known for the program "My Little Margie."

In addition, there are four special markers at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street to commemorate the Apollo Landing in 1969.

A number of the biggest names in Hollywood do not have stars on the Walk of Fame. There are numerous reasons for this; a celebrity must be nominated, selected and agree to the ceremony—in addition to having someone pick up the tab.

Nominees must have at least five years of history in their field before being considered, which means some of the hottest young stars may not yet be eligible. Stars also may simply decline to participate.

Over the years, there have been numerous controversies about who is and isn’t included. Among the fiercest was the fight over silent screen legend and movie pioneer Charles Chaplin . Although Chaplin had been unanimously voted into the initial group of 500, his name was removed after Hollywood business owners complained that he should be disqualified based issues with his morals— he'd been acquitted of "white slavery" in the 1940s —and his left-leaning politics.

Chaplin's star wasn't added until 1972, 12 years after his son sued over the exclusion.

In 1986, Times critic Patrick Goldstein puzzled over the chamber’s decision to bypass Chuck Berry even while less-influential inductees were green-lighted. Goldstein’s article prompted an angry letter from a reader questioning why Tom Cruise had been inducted just weeks earlier, noting Cruise "must have all of five film roles under his belt." Of course, in the more than two decades since, Cruise emerged as one of the all-time biggest box office draws.

Berry, by the way, was inducted the following year.

Among other big names missing from the walk: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Robert Redford, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Michael Douglas, Sean Connery, David Lean, Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet, Leonard Dicaprio, Diane Keaton, Denzel Washington and Woody Allen.

Times reporters consulted original obituaries as the starting place to determine birth and death dates. However, numerous stars lied over the years about their ages, using dates that made them either older or younger than they really were, depending on their needs at the time.

In other cases—as is true with Merle Oberon and Yul Brynner , among others—stars lied about the circumstances of their birth and ancestry. In Brynner’s case, a book written by his son after his death corrected several "facts" used by numerous news organizations, including The Times, in his obituary.

Some commonly used dates also appeared wrong on closer inspection. One example can be found in the entry for Ben Alexander , who began as a child star but was best-known as Jack Webb’s first partner on "Dragnet." Alexander’s date of death is often given as July 5, 1969 but the original obituary said that while he was discovered on that date, coroner’s officials determined he’d been dead for at least a week.

When additional information was reported by the family or biographers, The Times tried as much as possible to incorporate that information into the database. Almost certainly, more changes will be made going forward as additional information is uncovered or made known.

Ground broke for the historic Chinese Theatre in January 1926, with silent screen legend Norma Talmadge turning the dirt with a shovel presented by actress Anna May Wong .

The tradition of stars making impressions in the theater’s forecourt dates back to April 30, 1927 when Sid Grauman asked his friends Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks to leave their hand prints and footprints in wet concrete at the new $2-million theater.

Eight days later, the theater had its star-studded grand opening. Since then a select number of big stars—about 200 in all—have been asked to participate.

The vast majority of stars who can be found at Grauman’s also have stars on the Walk of Fame.

Among the notable exceptions without Walk of Fame stars: Warren Beatty, Jim Carrey, Sean Connery, Jeanne Crain, Michael Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Richard Gere, Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Michael Keaton, Ali MacGraw, Hayley Mills, Marcello Mastroianni, Al Pacino, Steven Seagal, Peter Sellers, Jean Simmons, Denzel Washington and Oskar Werner.

When available, the biographies found on the stars' pages came from The Times' obituaries or other Times coverage. Some of the earliest clips referenced date back to the 1910s and 1920s. In some cases, stories written during a star’s life or at the time of their death have been augmented with later material also published in The Times or from other sources. The authors and dates of those stories are included at the end of each entry.

In other cases, The Times' staff writers or freelancers have provided biographical summaries when suitable material was not available, which was often the case for living stars.

Johnny Depp Jerry Bruckheimer Tom Cruise - H 2013

Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise were the epitome of Hollywood celebrity in their matching aviators and open-collar button-downs at Monday’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony honoring Jerry Bruckheimer .

The duo came out to support the producer, whose credits include Depp’s upcoming The Lone Ranger and Pirates of the Caribbean films and Cruise’s Top Gun, among numerous other movies.

PHOTOS: The Lone Ranger and Tonto Through the Years

“Without Jerry, there would be no Pirates , there would be no Captain Jack,” Depp said during the ceremony, as quoted by KABC-TV Los Angeles. “Without Jerry, there would be no Lone Ranger, there would be no reinvigorated Tonto. So I have a lot to thank him for. The man is a legend to me, a legend to us all, hence this congregation to celebrate him for his long-deserved star on the Walk of Fame.”

Depp plays Tonto in The Lone Ranger, which opens July 3 and also stars Armie Hammer in the title role, as well as Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter. Gore Verbinski directed the movie, from Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films.

The producer’s film credits also include Beverly Hills Cop, Bad Boys, The Rock, Con Air, Enemy of the State and National Treasure. On the TV side, his credits include CBS’ CSI franchise and The Amazing Race.

Lang Lang auf dem Walk of Fame: Große Ehre für den Star-Pianisten

Lang lang auf dem walk of fame große ehre für den star-pianisten.

Für immer verewigt: Der international renommierte Pianist Lang Lang , 41, ist am Mittwoch (10. April) mit einem Stern auf dem Hollywood Walk of Fame geehrt worden. Der chinesische Musiker enthüllte damit den 2.778 Stern auf dem berühmten Gehweg in Los Angeles. In seiner Dankesrede betonte er, dass damit ein Traum wahr geworden sei.

Es sei für ihn eine große Ehre, nun neben anderen Größen der klassischen Musik wie Vladimir Horowitz und Arthur Rubinstein verewigt zu sein. Seiner Meinung nach verbessere Musik die Welt, so Lang Lang. Er wolle diese Gabe mit allen teilen und vor allem junge Menschen dazu inspirieren, ein Instrument zu spielen. Zudem erinnerte er sich in seiner Rede an seine Anfänge am Klavier im Alter von zwei Jahren und seinen Umzug im Alter von 14 Jahren von China in die USA.

In Begleitung seiner Eltern und Ehefrau Gina Alice

Da er seinen Stern in der Kategorie "Live Performance" erhielt, durfte natürlich auch eine Kostprobe seines Könnens bei der Zeremonie nicht fehlen. Ein Video davon wurde auch auf Instagram veröffentlicht. Lang Lang wurde zu der Stern-Enthüllung von seinen Eltern und seiner Ehefrau, der deutsch-koreanischen Pianistin Gina Alice Redlinger, 29, begleitet.

Große öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erregte Lang Lang erstmals bei seinem Auftritt im Rahmen der Eröffnungsfeier der Olympischen Spiele 2008 in Peking. Später trat er 2014 beim Endspiel der Fußballweltmeisterschaft auf. Er spielte in den letzten zehn Jahren zudem unter anderem bei der Verleihung des Nobelpreises an Barack Obama , 62, zum 60. Thronjubiläum von Queen Elizabeth II. (1926 - 2022) und vor Papst Franziskus , 87, im Vatikan. Auch bei der Krönung von König Charles , 75, und Königin Camilla , 76, war er mit einem Konzert auf Schloss Windsor vertreten. Sein letztes Album "Saint-Saëns" veröffentlichte er im März 2024.

Auf dem Hollywood Walk of Fame werden seit den Sechziger Jahren Sterne an bedeutende Künstler in den Kategorien Film, Fernsehen, Musik, Radio und Theater vergeben.

"I have some fancy new neighbors," she said about the placement of her star,  according to KABC-TV . "Max Factor, nice to meet you. Zoe Saldana, I'm a big fan. Tom Cruise, I also do my own stunts, my star wants your star to know."

Garner, after a supporting role in the movie “Pearl Harbor” in 2001, gained recognition for her role as CIA officer Sydney Bristow in the TV spy thriller “Alias” from 2001 to 2006. She won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for her work on the “Alias” series.

Garner explained why a star on the Walk of Fame is so meaningful.

Her  new movie, "Peppermint," is out this fall, and she has a new series, "Camping," debuting soon on Netflix.
