Koz is honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame under the category of Recording. The musician also treats the crowd to his Grammy-nominated rendition of Over the Rainbow.

To say the word ‘surreal’ doesn’t even do it justice. It was such an outrageously ‘pinch me’ moment.

Diaz is presented with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in the category of Motion Pictures. Friends Nick Cassavetes, Robin, Antin, Tom Cruise, and Cameron Crowe attend the event in support of Diaz.

It was what has given me the strength and courage to live this extraordinary life and it is what powers the light that burns inside of me, bright enough for me to be honored today with this star on the Walk of Fame. It will be cool to be under people’s feet. It really is the place where people can understand exactly that actors are not really stars – they don’t exist in the sky, they exist on the ground just like everybody else.

Sedgwick is presented with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in the category of Television. Castmate G.W. Bailey and producer Lee Daniels serve as guest speakers at the ceremony.

The need to walk around in other’s shoes and convey the truth of other humans runs deep into the heart of me, a desire I doubt will ever be snuffed out. So honored to be among the actors on Hollywood Blvd., but memorable performances are never made alone.

Close is presented with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in the category of Motion Pictures. Industry friends Michael Chiklis, Tate Donovan, and Mary Kay Place attend the affair in support of Close.

To be considered a star is one thing, but to be embedded in the sidewalk with life passing over us, that for me is the best part of this honor. Five-inch heels, flip-flops, Birkenstocks, dropped ice cream cones, the odd tobacco squirt, baby carriages, roller blades, skateboards, wheelchairs –– bring it all on.

This is utterly incredible to me. I mean, the iconography of this is not only famous in this country but around the world and location, location, location! I thought I would be outside the men’s urinals five miles from here, but I’m outside The Egyptian, which is also incredible to me.

I couldn’t catch my breath. I started crying. Another flight attendant thought someone had died. Later, the captain came out and announced to the plane, ‘Kate Linder, your purser, is receiving a star on the Walk of Fame.’ Everyone applauded and cheered.

Pleshette is honored posthumously with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in the category of Television. Friends Bob Newhart, Tina Sinatra, and Marcia Wallace speak on her behalf.

The thought of her with Johnny Grant really makes me feel better. And it was Johnny who said to me not three and a half months ago, ‘Suzie doesn’t have a star. We ought to do something about that.’ And we were shot out of a cannon, and thanks to Johnny, who was always doing something good for somebody, and I’m sure he still is, we got this on the fast track.
