The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a series of sidewalks along the Hollywood Boulevard and a segment of Vine Street. It is administrated by the Chamber of Commerce and maintained by the self - financial Historic Trust.
Te Walk of Fame is a monument of the past but also of the present. The honor to have a star on the most famous sidewalks in the whole world is a tribute as coveted and sought after as any of the entertainment industry's equally prestigious awards including the Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Golden Mike or Tony. The Walk remains one of the city's most widely-seen tourist attractions. It was designed in 1978 as a Cultural Historic Landmark of Los Angeles.
Walk of Fame encompasses five acres of bronze stars embedded in pink terrazzo and surrounded by charcoal terrazzo squares. Inside each star is the bronze-engraved name of each artist and a distinctive emblem identifying in which of the five categories - Motion Pictures, Television, Radio, Recording, or Live Theatre - the recipient has been honored.
The construction was completed in sixteen months were immortalized in the sidewalk 1,558 luminaries. Since then, there were added approximately one or to two stars per month. In 1994 the total number of stars was over 2000.
