Vic 17 Posted June 21, 2011 Walter Koenig will finally receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next year. Koenig was the only one of the seven original series actors without a star and fans had campaigned to rectify that oversight. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced the recipients today and in addition to Koenig, the following television and movie actors will be receiving stars next year: Adam West (Batman) Valerie Bertinelli (One Day at a Time) Matt Groening (The Simpsons) Mariska Hargitay (Law and Order: Special Victims Unit) Patricia Heaton (Everyone Loves Raymond) Marg Helgenberger (China Beach, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) Jennifer Aniston Vin Diesel Scarlett Johansson John Lasseter Malcolm McDowell Summer Redstone Kate Winslet Richard Burton (posthumous award) Koenig’s star will now join those of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, Nichelle Nichols, James Doohan and George Takei on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Recipients have five years from the date of selection to schedule their ceremonies. View the full article Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted June 22, 2011 About time! I wonder whether the fan campaign was the prime factor in changing the mind of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce or if the fact that Koenig had suffered the loss of his son recently led to the decision. Either way, he deserves this honor, which is overdue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
