Customers of Super Cheap Discount Car Rentals will see stars representing the five major facets of entertainment - major motion picture, television, music, theater and radio. Every celebrity dreams of earning a spot on this highly acclaimed walkway so why not stop and see it for yourself during an upcoming trip. Customers of Super Cheap Discount Car Rentals are this invited to park their cars and enjoy an afternoon stroll along this iconic Tinsel Town sidewalk.
The cream of the crop
Thousands of dreamers come to Hollywood in hopes of catching their big cinematic break. Of this group, even fewer actually make it onto the screen, earning varied amounts of star power. Even fewer of these successful actors ever reach the realm worthy of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Only the very best entertainers deserve to be honored with a spot on in this prominent landmark, so come prepared for a quick pop culture history lesson. Of the original 2,500 Hollywood Walk of Fame stars, only about 2,300 have been filled, and more have recently been added. Legendary entertainers can be found in the forecourt of the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, while other prominent contributors color the sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard. Exceptional stars on the Walk include the two dedicated to Lassie and Rin Tin Tin (two immensely popular canine celebrities), the one dedicated to Sesame Street's Big Bird, and the five award to Gene Autry. Autry is currently the only celebrity on the walk to have been awarded a star for each of the five categories. Customers of Super Cheap Discount Car Rentals will find these stars at 6644, 6520, 6384, 6667 and 7000 Hollywood Boulevard.
The magical meaning of Hollywood stars
The stars located along the Hollywood Walk of Fame exert a certain kind of power over tourists and fans. Many are even used as small memorials for deceased celebrities. In 1993, fans left notes of support on Michael Jackson's star after he'd been accused of child molestation. Beatles fans also make an annual pilgrimage to John Lennon's star in order to commemorate the anniversary of his death. Customers of Super Cheap Discount Car Rentals are also encouraged to layback and snap a few photos beside the stars honoring their favorite celebrities. Stars are added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame every year. Celebrities to be honored in 2007 include for movies, Matt Damon, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Caine and Jamie Foxx, and for TV Kiefer Sutherland, Barbara Walters, Erik Estrada and Jerry Stiller. Mariah Carey, Sean "Diddy" Combs, The Doors, and Tim McGraw are some of the upcoming music award recipients. Lily Tomlin and Tim Rice will be commemorated for their role in theater, while sportscaster Stu Nahan and disc jockey Rodney Bingenheimer have earned a spot for their contributions to radio.
The Walk of Fame runs along Hollywood Boulevard from Gower Street to La Brea Avenue and on Vine Street from Yucca Street to Sunset Boulevard. Customers of Super Cheap Discount Car Rentals will find a number of parking facilities in the immediate vicinity.
