  Hollywood Stars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hollywood Stars were a minor league baseball team which played in the Pacific Coast League during the early and mid 20th century.
The first version of the Hollywood Stars began its existence in 1903 as the Sacramento Solons, a charter member of the PCL.
Before Stars' owners could make contingency plans, however, the "other shoe dropped." In October of 1957, the Brooklyn Dodgers confirmed their long-rumored move to Los Angeles for the 1958 season, which forced the Stars and the Angels to relocate.

Well, most days you are unlikely to see any real movie stars here on the Boulevard, but if you look down at your feet, you'll see the kind "stars" Ray Davies sang about: the bronze star-plaques, embedded in pink and charcoal terrazzo squares on the world's most famous sidewalk: the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
And even if a celebrity is awarded a "star," the actual installation is often held up by scheduling difficulties.
And anchoring west end of the Walk of Fame, at the corner of Hollywood and La Brea, is a gleaming silver gazebo, topped by a spire which reads "Hollywood," and featuring sleek, life-size statues of four silver screen goddesses in evening gowns.

 The Hollywood Blacklist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The investigation of Hollywood radicals by the House on Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 and 1951 was a continuation of pressures first exerted in the late 1930s and early 1940s by the Dies Committee and State Senator Jack Tenney's California Joint Fact-finding Committee on Un-American Activities.
The result was bad press for Hollywood and a feeling by producers that their radical writers were vying with the committee for sensational headlines at the industry's expense.
The Hollywood Left began to revive in the late-1960s and, unlike the student New Left, the new Hollywood rebels, although not connected with the CP, felt warmly toward their predecessors and occasionally worked with them on joint projects.

To be honored with a star in Hollywood's Walk of Fame, the world's most famous sidewalk, is a tribute as coveted and sought after as any of the entertainment industry's equally prestigious awards -- including the Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Golden Mike or Tony.
Administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the Walk of Fame was designated, in 1978, as a Cultural/Historic Landmark by the City of Los Angeles.
However, even at this rate, it will be many years before the stars in the famed Walk will be completely occupied, assuring the continued presence of Hollywood in the world's media, and remaining a highly visible and lasting tribute to a unique city.

A Hollywood nightclub promoter, who asked to remain anonymous, was blunt: "Authorities know that there are underage celebrities inside drinking and if they don't care, why should we?" He added the obvious: "Celebrities help to make our clubs more exclusive.
Club owners may pay about as much attention to a star's age as a doctor paid to all the prescriptions he gave to Chris Penn. In other words, celebrities are special people for whom all exceptions must be made.

 Winning the indie game. By Edward Jay Epstein
Ironically, in the era of the moguls, the Hollywood studios gained a similar advantage over stars by locking all their actors and actresses into long-term contracts in which they were paid a specified weekly salary regardless of the success of their movies.
Since the stars could not work for any other studio, the studios who employed them could create PR images and reap all the benefits of a star's cachet for themselves.
Selling the film ultimately is what it's all about." So, the Hollywood star as homo ludens, or at least seeking some kind of non-monetary gratification, winds up as the crucial element in a business model that now sustains a large part of independent films—and, for that, we can all be grateful.

The A list stars from 24, people like Kiefer Sutherland, Elisha Cuthbert and Carlos Bernard - tend not to have much experience within the interactive market either (and not too surprisingly they're rarely videogames players), but their talent more than makes up for that.
For example, on Ghosthunter, which starred Joe Morton, who is a big stage and screen actor, we also had Rob Paulsen, who has a vast number of voice-acting roles behind him.
Aside from the stars, you expect voice actors to be able to double up in their roles and take on a number of parts - this happens a lot in animated movies as well, not just games.
