The most complete list of stars in Hollywood Walk of Fame is the official A-to-Z directory on the Walk of Fame website, which covers more than 2,850 honorees. Pair it with the official star map to find any address. Use the directory to check a name, the map to plan a route, the ceremony updates to follow new honorees, and a guided walk if you would rather hear the stories than hunt for brass.
The trouble is that a plain list rarely answers what people really ask. Does a favorite celebrity have a star? Where is it? Who was added lately? How does anyone get one? Most lists answer one of those questions and leave you searching for the rest.
This article gives you five ways to find any star, each with what it covers, who it suits and how to use it. Another Side Of Los Angeles Tours has guided visitors around Los Angeles since 2007, so the last pick covers seeing the stars in person.
1. The official A-Z directory
The official browse page is the best way to confirm a name. It lists every honoree by letter and links each entry to a page for that star.
Start with the directory when your question is "does this person have a star?"
What it covers
The list is sorted by last name, so Alec Baldwin sits under B and Aretha Franklin under F. It is not limited to people. Bands such as the Backstreet Boys appear, and so do fictional characters including Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, Kermit the Frog and Big Bird.
Who it suits
Fans settling a debate, writers checking a spelling and trip planners who want a name list before they head to Hollywood Boulevard get the most from it. It answers who has a star, but not where it is, which is the job of the next pick.
How to use it
Jump to the right letter, then press Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on a Mac) to search the page. Groups are filed under their main word, so The Beatles sits under B and The Doors under D. Some names appear under more than one spelling, such as Mötley Crüe, so try variants before you decide someone is missing.
2. The official star map
The official star map tells you where a star sits. It lists each star’s title, category and street address, and it builds walking directions between the stars you choose.
A name tells you who; an address tells you where to stand.
What it covers
Stars run along Hollywood Boulevard from roughly Gower Street to La Brea Avenue, plus Vine Street between Yucca Street and Sunset Boulevard. Addresses climb from the 6000s to the 7000s as you head west on the boulevard. Alan Cumming’s star is at 6320 Hollywood Boulevard, "Weird Al" Yankovic’s is at 6914, and Carlo Rambaldi’s is at 1611 Vine Street.
Who it suits
Visitors with limited time benefit most. Pick the ten or fifteen names you care about and the map shows how they group, so you can plan one walking loop instead of crisscrossing the boulevard. The busiest stretch sits around Hollywood and Highland.
How to use it
Follow these steps:
- Filter by category or search for a name.
- Add each star you want as a waypoint.
- Print the directions or open them on your phone before you start walking.
3. Recent honorees and the star count
The Walk holds more than 2,850 stars, and the official site numbered Carlo Rambaldi’s star as the 2,860th, so the count keeps climbing. New honorees are added at public ceremonies, and the recent ones started at 11:30 a.m. Pacific time.
The star count changes with every ceremony, so check the official homepage for the current number.
What it covers
The official homepage posts each new honoree with the star number, date, address and category. Recent entries looked like this:
| Honoree | Star number | Ceremony date | Category | Address |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carlo Rambaldi (posthumous) | 2,860th | October 15 | Motion pictures | 1611 Vine Street |
| Air Supply | 2,859th | October 8 | Recording | 6126 Hollywood Blvd |
| Bradley Whitford | 2,858th | September 30 | Television | 6104 Hollywood Blvd |
| Greg Daniels | 2,856th | September 10 | Television | 6357 Hollywood Blvd |
Who it suits
Fans who want to know who was honored lately, or who is next, should check here. Alan Cumming received the first star of 2026 on January 8 at 6320 Hollywood Boulevard, which shows how far ahead the schedule is posted. Anyone chasing a 2026 honoree can match the name to the map.
How to use it
Read the latest star number on the homepage, then look up the address on the star map. Two questions come up often. Actors rarely pay themselves: a sponsor such as a studio, label or fan group covers the fee, which has been reported at about $85,000 in recent years. A big name’s absence, Taylor Swift’s for instance, normally means the nomination, sponsorship and ceremony date have not all come together.
4. The emblems on the sidewalk
Each star shows the honoree’s name in brass and an emblem that names the category. The emblem is the fastest way to tell what a person was honored for while you stand on the sidewalk.
The emblem tells you the category before you read the name.
What it covers
The emblems follow the categories:
- Movie camera: motion pictures
- Television set: television
- Phonograph record: recording
- Radio microphone: radio
- A separate emblem: live performance
Who it suits
Anyone walking the boulevard without a printed list benefits, and so do families. A scavenger hunt to spot every emblem keeps children busy, and it teaches adults why the same pink terrazzo shapes carry different symbols.
How to use it
Match the emblem to the category filter on the star map to confirm you found the right star. Look for duplicate names, because honorees can hold one star per category. Gene Autry, listed under A in the directory, is the best-known case and holds a star in all five categories.
5. A guided walk along the stars
A guided walk is the best pick when you want the stars explained, not just located. Another Side Of Los Angeles Tours includes the Walk of Fame in its Hollywood tours, led by professional local guides.
A list tells you who has a star; a guide tells you why it matters.
What it covers
The Hollywood Walking Tour runs about 90 minutes from $75 per guest and covers the Walk of Fame, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and the El Capitan Theatre. The Famous Hollywood Tour is a private two-hour tour at $199 per guest. It adds the Hollywood Sign and Sunset Strip, and it needs two guests minimum. Parties of three or more save $25 per guest.
Who it suits
First-time visitors, families and anyone who would rather not navigate crowds will like it. Here is what a party of four pays:
| Tour | Format | Length | Price per guest | Total for 4 guests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Hollywood Walking Tour | Walking | About 90 minutes | $75 | $300 |
| The Famous Hollywood Tour | Private | About 2 hours | $199 minus $25 group discount = $174 | $696 |
How to use it
Book as far ahead as you can. Tickets are final and non-refundable, but an optional Tour Protection add-on costs 10% at booking and lets you reschedule up to 3 hours before the tour. If you have a must-see list of names, ask about a custom tour planned with the team.
Which way to find your star
Use the official directory to confirm a name, the star map to find the address, and the homepage to follow new honorees. Read the emblems when you are on the sidewalk. That covers every question the search usually raises: who has a star, how many exist, where each one sits and who joined most recently.
If you would rather see them with someone who knows the stories, we can plan the route around your must-see names. Compare our private Hollywood and Beverly Hills tours and pick the length and pace that suit your group.
