Walk of Stars
-
It may not be the legendary Walk of Fame on Hollywood, but Palm Springs happily pays tribute to those stars who didn't quite make the A-list. Nonetheless, the Palm Springs Walk of Stars features actors, actresses, directors and other film-related personalities. Stars are located on the sidewalks of Palm Canyon Drive, Tahquitz Canyon Way and Museum Drive. There are currently 320 stars, including some major celebrities, such as Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and D-list star herself, Kathy Griffin; who devoted an episode of her show "My Life On The D-List" to the commemoration of her star.
