Spielberg Snags Star, Sets Stage For 2003
January 7, 2003
30 years and 3 Oscars after a career that lends him credits
to arguably some of the most monumental films in American Culture, Steven Spielberg
finally accepts his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With the dedication
site set outside the Kodak Theater this Friday, the five point monument won’t
be the first time Spielberg has his name forever branded into the Hollywood
Blvd bustle. Spielberg’s cemented prints and signature can be seen on the same
strip in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater in a section reserved for
only the true aristocrats of the Hollywood monarchy.
In the announcement made on Monday, January 6th,
2003, Walk of Fame Chairman Johnny Grant stated this is the first time he
(Spielberg) has made him self available for the award, adding
“We're just pleased that we finally got him,
He could have been approved 20 years ago."
