One of my favorite parts of my trip to L.A. was walking down Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, because it meant I got to see the Walk of Fame in person and stand where many of my favorite people in show business also stood. If I shared all the pictures I took, this gallery would be way too long. But here are some of my favorites.

Jay Ward

Had to take a picture of the man who revolutionized both the medium of television and the medium of animation by creating Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Tom Hanks
Samuel L. Jackson

Probably my favorite actor of all time.

Meryl Streep
Eddie Murphy
Aretha Franklin

Giving Aretha Franklin the R-E-S-P-E-C-T she deserves!

Don Rickles

This, of course, is the star that makes fun of all the other stars.

Adam West, Burt Ward, Bob Kane

The man who played Batman and the man who played Robin were right next to the man who created Batman and Robin, so I couldn’t pass up that photo op.

Sylvester Stallone
James Cameron
Mel Brooks

Anyone who makes fun of Hitler is a star in my book.

Cate Blanchett
Dolly Parton

Has the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce seen his films??

James Cagney
Richard Pryor
Jack Benny

No that is not a gun in my pocket …

I was determined to snap pics of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese’s stars.

Thankfully I still managed to find them, albeit from a distance.

This is the closest Bowser is ever going to get to getting one of those stars.
