Help Walter Get His Star
on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
Walter still does not have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Help us correct this ridiculous oversight!
Star Trek was a milestone in American television history. The original series continues to
inspire millions not to just dream of a better future, but to work for the scientific advances
and peaceful solutions to world problems. The inclusion of the Russian navigator Pavel
Chekov was pivotal to the show’s message. During the Cold War and the Space Race,
Walter Koenig gave the public a likable Russian patriot that was a vital, equal and
respected member of the ship’s command team.
The rest of the actors have been honored for their part in this historic show–now it’s time
for Walter to get his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well ! He has been a
television presence for over 46 years and created two memorable characters: Pavel
Chekov on Star Trek and Alfred Bester on Babylon 5.
Walter has been nominated for his star and waltersstar.com has raised the money to
manufacture and install the star (Thanks!). All Walter needs now is the votes of the Walk
of Fame Committee when they meet in June 2007.
We Need Your Help!
Now is the time for fans to unite and convince the WOF committee that this is the
year for Walter Koenig to get his star!!
Write to the Walk of Fame Committee!!
Tell them why you think they should vote this June to finally give Walter his star! In 1968
Star Trek fans got the show renewed with their letters-- we can do this! Spread the
word!! Get everyone involved!!
This is a chance for all of us to say "Thanks!" to Walter Koenig for all he has given in his
entire career!
Letters must be received by May 31, 2010 and should be addressed to:
Walk of Fame Committee
c/o Hollywood Chamber of Commerce
7018 Hollywood Boulevard, 2nd Floor
Hollywood, CA 90028
Some Notes about Letters:
From the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce website:
"The committee does not accept signatures, phone calls, e-mails, or any form of
petitions..."
PLEASE BE POLITE!
Fans are intelligent, respectful people. Please show them this by stating specifically, in
your own words, why you think Walter should have a star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame. These NEED to be letters from each individual fan in the fan's own words. Not
copies, Not petitions, Not form letters, Not chain letters, Not letters on behalf of a group
with multiple signatures. Remember that the star will be for Walter's television work---it's
recommended that you remind them of all the work he's done. Check the qualifications
below and his biography on this site. Rudeness and threats will only sour the vote and
reflects badly on both Walter and the fans.
