Stars placedBoth sides of both streets

The stars face both directions “so that people walking either direction can see the stars easily”, according to the official site. At the eastern end, near Hollywood and Gower, Stanley Kramer’s star became the first laid in the permanent Walk in 1960; the western end at La Brea is marked by a silver gazebo with statues of four actresses. The Vine Street segment crosses the boulevard at Hollywood and Vine, where the four Apollo 11 moon monuments sit, and passes the Capitol Records Building at 1750 Vine Street. The self-guided walk follows the whole route east to west, and how long to spend sets out shorter and longer visits.
