Here Are 8 Celebrities Who Are Still Waiting To Be Added To The Hollywood Walk Of Fame
These celebrities should have already been on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Hollywood, and getting a star there is still a major milestone for entertainers. From movie legends to music icons, the sidewalk honors names that have shaped pop culture for decades.
Still, a few huge celebrities have not been added yet, even after years of success, awards, and box office hits. That gap has sparked plenty of curiosity about who gets chosen and why some famous names are still missing.
Here are eight celebrities who are still waiting for their Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
1. James Earl Jones
If you don't know who James is, he's the voice of Darth Vader and has starred in films such as Coming to America. James's net worth is $40 million, yet he still doesn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, despite all of the Star Wars movies he has voiced.
2. Christopher Walken
Christopher Walken's net worth is $50 million. He's known for his distinctive voice and has appeared in films like Catch Me If You Can and Click, but he has yet to earn his Hollywood star.
That missing star is still a surprise to a lot of fans.
3. Meg Ryan
Believe it or not, Meg Ryan doesn't have a star either. She's worth about $85 million and has starred in movies such as You've Got Mail.
Although she is now retired, her fans continue to advocate for her recognition for her hard work.
4. Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie has been featured in many major films, including Unbroken and Girl, Interrupted. Her net worth is $120 million, yet she still has not appeared on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Some of the biggest names in Hollywood are still missing from the sidewalk.
This is the same kind of chaos as when Hollywood’s biggest stars wanted the earth to swallow them whole.
5. Richard Gere
Richard Gere is also worth $120 million and has starred in movies including Pretty Woman and Runaway Bride.
6. Brad Pitt
You might be surprised to learn that Brad Pitt still doesn't have a star on the Walk of Fame, despite his continuous appearances in numerous films. Brad's net worth is $300 million, and he's been in movies such as Fight Club, Ocean's Eleven, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
7. Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is eligible for the singing category of the Walk of Fame, but despite her incredible releases such as Love Story, You Belong with Me, and Shake It Off, she still doesn't have her name on a star. Taylor's net worth is $300 million, and as a well-known singer and songwriter, her fans are advocating for her to receive a star.
Fans are clearly keeping score on this one.
8. Rihanna
You read that right. Rihanna doesn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Her net worth is $1.7 billion, and she has released many top hits such as Umbrella and Take Care. While she is certainly financially secure, her fans are eager to see her name on the Walk of Fame as a tribute to her hard work and dedication.
These are the kinds of omissions people notice right away.
