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!

The WOF committee voted on June 8, 2007 and chose NOT to award
Walter Koenig a star on the Walk of Fame. Walter's nomination stays valid
for one more vote, to take place in June 2008. It's time now that the last
star for the original cast is awarded as the torch is passed onto a new
cast with the premier of "Star Trek XI" in December of 2008. We ask
that people do everything they can to help encourage the committee to
finally vote to award Walter much deserved star!

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 47 years and created two memorable characters as an
actor: Pavel Chekov on Star Trek and Alfred Bester on Babylon 5. As a writer he
created "Land of the Lost"'s memorable "Enik" character.

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 2008. Mr. Doohan was very ill by
the time his star was awarded and its installation was his last public appearance
~really, let's not let that happen with Mr. Koenig!!


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!!

Some Notes about Letters
and other WOF contacts:

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 form letters, Not chain letters.
They can be petitions or a letter from 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, as well as his credits and his biography on this site. Rudeness and threats will
only sour the vote and reflects badly on both Walter and the fans.
