JUNE 28, 2023 – The famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, with its terrazzo and brass stars embedded in fifteen blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street, will be getting its latest stars in the near future, including two for Star Trek veterans.

According to a press release, Chris Pine and Michelle Yeoh will be among the Class of 2024 honorees from motion pictures, television, live theatre/live performance, radio, recording, and sports entertainment to receive their stars on the Walk. All the honorees were selected by a panel of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

Following a complicated history, the Walk was dedicated on November 23, 1960, in conjunction with the Hollywood Christmas Parade, though construction would not be completed until the Spring of 1961, with the first 1558 stars. Among those stars were the earliest Star Trek-related honorees: Michael Ansara, Lucille Ball, Jeffrey Hunter, Ricardo Montalban, and Jane Wyatt.

It took until 1983 for the next Trek representatives, William Shater and Joan Collins, to get their stars. The most recent were Jerry Goldsmith and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, in 2017. Among the almost 2800 honorees on the Walk are 39 Trek stars.

Selection Committee Chair and Walk of Famer Ellen K said, "The Committee did an amazing job choosing these very talented people. We can't wait to see each honoree's reaction as they realize that they are becoming a part of Hollywood's history with the unveiling of their star on the world's most famous walkway!"

Dates have not been determined for the ceremonies for each honoree, who have two years to schedule their ceremonies from the date of selection before they expire.
