Famous individuals with significant experience in entertainment can apply for a terrazzo pink marble star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for $30,000. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce selects winners each June, and only the most popular stars are considered. Pets, fictional characters, and some sports stars have stars, but no reality or internet stars are allowed. Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 crew were not honored for their moon landing, but instead, a plaque recognizes their contributions to the television industry.
Can you raise $30,000? Have you been famous for at least five years and do you have an “incontestable” experience in television, cinema, theater or music? Then you might be eligible for a terrazzo pink marble star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, right next to Frank Sinatra and Donald Duck. Also, you should be willing to attend the presentation and join the festivities. Applications should be sent to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, along with an impressive biography of the accomplishments. After all, this is a tourist attraction and only the most popular stars will be considered. Each June, a committee selects the year’s winners and deposits the entry fee, which goes to keep the star-studded sidewalks.
Star view of Hollywood:
Starred pets include Lassie and Rin Tin Tin. Fictional characters like Winnie-the-Pooh, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Kermit the Frog also have stars. But no reality and internet stars allowed (sorry, Kim Kardashian).
Muhammad Ali didn’t want people to trample on his star, so it was placed on the wall of the Hollywood and Highland Mall. Ali is one of the few sports stars with a plaque: it was decided that boxing could be considered a “live performance”.
Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 crew were not honored as the first visitors to the Moon. Instead, a special circular plaque honors their “contributions to the television industry.”
