The Hollywood Walk of Fame is more than just a sidewalk; it's a tribute to the luminaries who have shaped the entertainment industry. Stretching 1.3 miles on Hollywood Boulevard from Gower Street to La Brea Avenue, and 0.4 miles on Vine Street from Yucca Street to Sunset Boulevard, it's embedded with over 2,700 stars. Each star represents a significant contribution to motion pictures, television, radio, live theatre, or recording. The Walk of Fame was conceived in 1953 by E.M. Stuart, then the volunteer president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, to maintain the glory of Hollywood. Construction began in 1958, and the first permanent star, honoring director Stanley Kramer, was laid in 1960. The Walk was officially dedicated on November 23, 1960. Walking along the Walk of Fame, you'll encounter names that span decades of entertainment history. From Marilyn Monroe and Michael Jackson to Harrison Ford and Oprah Winfrey, the stars represent a diverse range of talent and achievement. The Walk of Fame is a living monument, with new stars added regularly. Ceremonies are held to unveil new stars, often attended by the honorees themselves. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is undergoing a revitalization project with the goal of completion by 2026. The project aims to create a more inclusive space with wider sidewalks, additional shade trees, a protected mobility lane, and pedestrian safety enhancements.
