History

A previous Walk of Fame was established on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City in the 1960s. It consisted of thirteen small brass sidewalk plaques spaced twenty feet apart, honoring actors such as Elke Sommer, Marjorie Lord, Rhys Williams, and Jay Novello. By the late 1980s, the Walk was covered in weeds and garbage. [4]

The current Studio City Walk of Fame was established by the Studio City Improvement Agency and the Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Commission in 2003. [2] It honors the area's contributions to the entertainment industry, both movies and television. [1] [2]
