Ana Martinez, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce:
The Walk of Fame is very successful for the economy here in Hollywood. We get 10 million people visiting a year. It's a registered landmark. A chamber, a board member, 50 years ago kept hearing people say, "Where are the celebrities? We want to see the stars?" And so he drew up on a little napkin at a restaurant and idea that he had and then it became a sidewalk tribute. Its our way of paying homage to our favorite celebrities who made Hollywood what it is. And its significant to the celebrities because this is the award that they can share with their fans
