The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a landmark with more than 2,800 five-pointed terrazzo-and-brass stars embedded in the sidewalks along fifteen blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, California, United States. The stars are monuments to achievement in the entertainment industry and bear the names of a mix of actors, filmmakers, musicians, inventors, businessmen, fictional characters, and more. Many individuals have been honored more than once. The Walk of Fame was originally conceived in 1953. The first stars were unveiled in 1958, and the first permanent stars were placed in 1960. The Walk has been expanded on multiple fronts since then, including in the number of stars displayed; categories, entities, and organizations honored; and blocks covered. The Walk also deteriorated while it expanded, and a long-term restoration plan began in 2007. The Walk of Fame is administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and maintained by the self-financing Hollywood Historic Trust.
