It started when I looked for Neil Patrick Harris' new star on the Walk of Fame.
It's between the Frolic Room and the Pantages Theater.
While walking around, I noticed not all the stars are shining as bright as they should be. I know the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce knows about this, and it takes big bucks to make sure all of the stars are in good shape. Still, it's a sad sight to see broken stars, like Michael Landon...
I'm guessing construction work caused this problem, but what about this star of Rodney Dangerfield? No respect, after all these years? Not cool...
or the star of The Three Stooges...
This is the star for Arthur Kennedy. You can barely see which category his star was from. This is probably due to millions of people walking over it over the years.
Still, there is hope: I saw this guy making sure the star of actress Hillary Brooke stays shiny. She may not have been as well-known as the others, but she's important enough for this guy...
In fact, she takes care of a lot of stars every day. I saw him the next monting hard at work near Hollywood and Vine.
There's also a piece of game show heaven: Allen Ludden and Betty White's stars, side by side.
For the most part, the Walk of Fame is in good shape, honoring the best in entertainment properly. A little more maintenance would be great, but I am sure that is being planned. Meanwhile, there is the sign of a coming attraction, like this one at Hollywood and Highland
For the record, Melissa Etheridge will be on that spot. let's hoe a fan will keep her star shiny in the future.
