In 1987, two hundred of the 1,857 world famous celebrities stars
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame required overhauling or complete
replacement due to intrusive ficus tree roots, years of earthquake,
pedestrian and automobile traffic. Immediately, Original Stardust
Enterprises obtained the rights to collect the unique terrazzo
remains from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and began this
exclusive collection. |
During
the 1990's several hundred of the landmark stars were removed
by the MTA - Metropolitan Transportation Authority during the
construction of the subway through Hollywood. After the stars
were reinstalled further construction caused the famous boulevard
to sink as much as 10 inches. Many of the damaged stars were
replaced and added to our master collection. Ricky Martin received
the 2351st HWF star on October 16, 2007. |
