Hollywood Walk of Fame
2,850 names pressed into pink terrazzo underfoot — actors, inventors, fictional characters, all at six-foot intervals for 1.3 miles.

Conceived in 1953 and still expanding, the Walk runs fifteen blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three of Vine Street. The range of honorees is stranger than most expect: alongside actors and filmmakers sit musicians, businessmen, inventors, and fictional characters — a compressed cross-section of a century of American entertainment culture embedded in the sidewalk.
What to look for
- Each star is coral-pink terrazzo rimmed with brass, set into a 3-by-3-foot charcoal terrazzo square — the color contrast is sharper than photos suggest.
- Honorees' names spelled out in brass letters inlaid directly into the star itself, not on a separate plaque.
- The six-foot spacing between stars: walk the rhythm of it and the 1.3-mile length starts to feel like a real unit of measurement.
The Walk runs on Hollywood Boulevard from Gower Street to La Brea Avenue (1.3 miles) and on Vine Street from Yucca Street to Sunset Boulevard (0.4 miles); no admission, open at all hours.
