Hollywood Walk of Fame

From Wikinfo

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is the sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California, which is embedded with over 2000 bronze stars featuring the names of celebrities from film and television. The Walk of Fame runs north to south on Hollywood Blvd. from Gower to La Brea, and east to west on Vine Street between Yucca and Sunset Boulevard.

Created in 1958, the Walk of Fame has become a tribute to artists working within the entertainment industry, both in front and behind the cameras. Honorees receive a star based on career and lifetime achievements in motion pictures, radio, television, and/or music, as well as their charitable and civic contributions. Joanne Woodward received the first star on the Walk of Fame on February 9, 1960.
