The Stars are Immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where stars receive stars on the sidewalks of Hollywood Blvd. and Vine Street. Most days you are unlikely to see any real movie stars but if you look down at your feet, you'll see the bronze star-plaques, embedded in pink & charcoal terrazzo squares on the world's most famous sidewalk:
These sidewalk "stars" honor not only movie actors, but radio, TV, & stage performers, directors, singers, songwriters, and other well-known show-biz personalities. The celebrity with the most "stars" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is singing-cowboy Gene Autry, who earned five different "stars,"
Each star consists of a pink five-pointed star rimmed with bronze and inlaid into a charcoal square. Inside the pink star is the name of the honoree inlaid in bronze, below which is a round bronze emblem indicating the category for which the honoree received the star.
