List of actors with Hollywood Walk of Fame motion picture stars

Add article description


This list of actors with Hollywood Walk of Fame motion picture stars includes all actors who have been inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of motion pictures. This list does not include any non-acting professionals with motion picture stars, nor does it include any directors or producers with acting credits that are minor when compared to their directing and producing credits. This list also excludes all actors with television or live theatre stars on the Walk of Fame, as well as all animal actors and fictional characters.

The star locations and the years of the induction ceremonies are available on the official Hollywood Walk of Fame website maintained by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.[1] The years of birth and death are available in the biographical articles on the Los Angeles Times Hollywood Star Walk website,[2] with more accurate birth years from government records—such as birth certificates, census and military records—for some actors via their Wikipedia article sources.

Statistics

A total of 922 actors appear in the list—508 males and 414 females. A total of 179 Academy Award winners for acting appear in the list—89 males and 90 females—and 181 non-winning nominees—100 males and 81 females. A total of 562 actors with no Academy Award nominations for acting appear in the list—319 males and 243 females. A comedy duo of the late 19th–early 20th century, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, is listed here three times—once for Sidney and twice more for his two wives, Gladys Rankin and Lucille McVey—therefore, subtract two from this list's total for the actual count of motion picture category stars.

The youngest living male in the list is Daniel Radcliffe while the youngest living female is Scarlett Johansson. The oldest living female is Janis Paige and the oldest living male is Mel Brooks. The youngest at induction is Patty McCormack at 15 years of age, while Bobby Driscoll was the youngest male actor, inducted at 23 years of age. The oldest at induction was James Hong at 93 years of age. The average age at induction is about 54, with males averaging about 57 and females averaging about 51. Posthumously-awarded stars are not included in the average calculations.

Since the initial star installations of 1958–60 when 665 film actors (the Drews, as noted above, being three of them) received stars—169 being posthumously inducted—there have been 17 additional posthumous stars awarded to film actors: Paul Robeson in 1978, Dorothy Dandridge in 1983, Philip Ahn and Eleanor Powell in 1984, Smiley Burnette and Steve McQueen in 1986, Natalie Wood in 1987, Bruce Lee in 1993, Cleavon Little and Spanky McFarland in 1994, John Belushi in 2004, Chris Farley in 2005, Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez in 2008, Richard Burton in 2013, Toshiro Mifune in 2016, and Carrie Fisher and Ray Liotta in 2023.

As of 2024, more than 2,750 stars are on the Hollywood Walk of Fame among all five categories: motion pictures, television, recording, radio and live performance.[3] Stars for motion picture actors comprise about one third of all Walk of Fame stars.

‡ only standard Academy Awards for acting are considered in this list, not lifetime, juvenile, or any non-acting achievements, such as for directing, producing, writing, etc.; Academy Award information is available on the official Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences database website via dynamically-generated lists.[11]

List of actors

The list is designed to be sortable by clicking on any of the column headings; however, sorting is only possible if JavaScript is enabled in your web browser. If viewing on a mobile device, switch to the desktop view to enable sorting (click on the word Desktop at the bottom of the page).

The initial sort order is by actor surnames. Clicking the same column heading a second time sorts in the reverse order. For example:

  • to see the actors in order along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, click on the Address column heading; reverse the order by clicking the same column heading a second time
  • to group the actors with males separated from females, click the second column heading; click once for females first or twice for males first
  • to see all the actors sorted from youngest to oldest, click the Age column heading once; click again to reverse the order.
