Walk Of Fame

The "Walk of Fame" is one of Hollywood's most famous landmarks that attracts countless visitors every year who want to spend some time in the footsteps of the stars. Over 2000 stars have been placed on the sidewalks as a tribute to people who have made a significant contribution to the film, television, theatre or recording industries. The stars of the Walk of Fame can be found on both sides of Hollywood Blvd. from Gower to La Brea, both sides of Vine Street and from Yucca to Sunset.

It really is futile to try and list names: almost every essential star of the last 60 years has a star here, and then some. For a complete alphabetical listing and the exact location of the individual stars go to the Walk of Fame Index. A tour along the Hollywood Boulevard is an excellent way to discover some of the sights that Hollywood has to offer - the Egyptian theatre, for instance (the first movie theatre on Hollywood Blvd), the Capital Records building (the world's first circular office building shaped like a stack of records) or the Outpost, an apartment house where countless stars have lived since the 1920s. The lobby of the Outpost building showcases many photo-graphies of the stars who have stayed here over the years as well as early views of Hollywood that impressively show how much it has changed. The tour will take you past many spots that seem familiar from the movies, and it's fun to discover these places and recall the movie scenes.
