The Only Star You Can't Step On At The Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Publish date: 2024-05-03

In 1994, the construction of a subway demanded a dramatic change on the Walk of Fame, and 450 stars had to be temporarily removed, including Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Walt Disney, Bob Hope, Groucho Marx, Gene Kelly, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Charlie Chaplin, according to Mental Floss.

In 2005, Gregory Peck's star was stolen from the sidewalk. Although it isn't common, it was not the first time it happened. According to The Guardian, stars honoring Jimmy Stewart, Kirk Douglas, and Gene Autry have also disappeared.

Tourists can also find fictional characters, such as Godzilla and The Muppets, on the Walk of Fame. Mickey Mouse was the first cartoon to receive the honor in 1978.

Celebrities are allowed to have more than one star if they have significant achievements in different categories. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Mickey Rooney are some examples of people with multiple stars on the Walk of Fame.

There are two stars with Harrison Ford's name — however, they are not the same person. One of them honors a silent movie actor, and the star was placed in 1960. The "Indiana Jones" star received his star years later, in 2003.
