THE PUBLIC GOT A SNEAK PEEK OF THE WALK IN 1958. It wasn’t until 1984 that a category for Theatre/Live Performance was added.


Though today there are five categories of inductees, in the Walk of Fame’s earliest days there were just four: Motion Pictures, Television, Recording or Music, and Radio. ONLY FOUR TYPES OF INDUCTEES WERE ORIGINALLY CONSIDERED. Hollywood, was erecting on Hollywood Boulevard.

Both ideas were eventually nixed-the caricatures because of the difficulty involved and the colors because they clashed with a building that real estate developer C.E. Among the renderings put forth were a star that included a caricature of the honoree, planted along brown and blue sidewalks. It took a while to settle on a concept and color scheme. THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT INCLUDED CARICATURES. According to a press release issued that year, he proposed the idea as a marketing tactic to “maintain the glory of a community whose name means glamour and excitement in the four corners of the world.” It wasn’t until January 1956 that an official proposal was submitted to the Los Angeles City Council.

Now what's he going to do? He did what he set out to do and what it cost him was well worth it. Salt paid a lot of money to achieve that for her and when it was finally found and she was happy, he was left standing in a room full of candy wrappers and chocolate bars.
