Hollywood Walk of Fame

Hollywood · landmarks · entertainment · Los Angeles

Thousands of stars. More than 2,800 five-pointed stars made of terrazzo (a type of stone) and brass are embedded in the sidewalks along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Los Angeles. Each star is a monument to someone's achievements in entertainment.

Many types of honorees. The stars celebrate not just actors and musicians, but also filmmakers, inventors, businessmen, and even some fictional characters. It's a way of saying thank you to people who made entertainment amazing.

A walkable landmark. The stars stretch across fifteen blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street, making it a fun outdoor museum that anyone can visit and explore for free.

A huge honor. Getting a star on the Walk of Fame is one of the most prestigious achievements in the entertainment world, and it means you've made a real impact on movies, music, or TV.
