Hollywood Boulevard
Fame's concrete pathway
Hollywood Boulevard is a major street in Los Angeles, running through the heart of the entertainment district.
It's home to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where brass stars embedded in the sidewalk honor celebrities from film, television, music, and theater.
The boulevard evokes both the glamour of the movie industry and the seedier reality of tourist traps and urban grit: We walked Hollywood Boulevard looking for our favorite actors' stars.
