the new Hollywood Walk of Fame had about the same amount of press coverage as
the average sidewalk repair.
Ann’s

her place among them in tribute to her as one of the major film actresses
of the last decade. At the time her star was cemented on the pavement,
her film career, unknown to her at the time, had finished three years prior
