How can they not have their name on there yet?
We think most of us can agree that getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is almost every celebrity's dream and ambition. Getting your name on there not only proves that you are famous all around the world but also that you're recognized as an icon whose works will leave a lasting impression on the next generation and treat them as legends.
We all know that getting a star there is not easy, though. You have to work hard to climb the ranks, make the right career decisions, and earn the trust and love of millions of people.
