Hollywood is synonymous with glitz, glamour, fame, and fortune. While you’re wandering through the heart of the world’s entertainment industry, you most definitely won’t want to miss out on these iconic Hollywood landmarks.
1. The Hollywood Walk of Fame
One of the world’s most iconic walks, the Hollywood Walk of Fame features 2,300 stars emblazoned with the names of accomplished celebrities who have left their mark in the fields of radio, television, motion pictures, recording, and live performance. A small symbol on each star indicates for which field the person is being honored. Each year, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce inaugurates a handful of new names into the walkway after a very lengthy nomination process. Some lucky celebrities even have more than one star on the walk. For example, old cowboy star Gene Autry has one star for each available category. When an honored celebrity dies, it’s traditional to leave flowers or other mementos by his or her star.From the Walk of Fame, you can also catch a glimpse of the iconic Capitol Records building, the first round office building in the world. You’ll find the stars of all four Beatle members at the front entrance to the building.
