I visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard, and who is the first name that you can read in my picture? Ed McMahon.
Nothing against Ed, here, but there are a variety of big names on the blocks here -- about 2,300 in all. Even Lassie and Rin Tin Tin are included. Behind Ed is W.C. Fields, which I'm sure thrilled him (Ed is a big fan), and Kirstie Alley is on the left edge. By the way, no Robert Redford, Jane Fonda or Clint Eastwood are in sight here.
At least I didn't post my picture of Woody Woodpecker's star.
The Walk of Fame is a major tourist attraction in this part of the world. More than 2,800 people from show business have been honored in this manner over the years. Radio, television, movies, music, sports, comedy - they are all here.
Ceremonies always begin at 11:30 a.m., and they usually last about 45 minutes. Depending on the star, it can do a number of traffic in the area. Check with the Walk of Fame website to see who might be coming up for induction soon.
