For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Harrison Ford has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of the Musso & Frank restaurant at 6665 Hollywood Blvd. The expense of maintaining that star is now paid by the modern actor Harrison Ford, who is not related and was not even aware of the earlier Ford when he himself first arrived in Hollywood. The modern Harrison Ford has told an amusing anecdote in interviews: during his early scuffling days, wondering if he would ever achieve stardom, he was astonished to discover a star in the Hollywood sidewalk bearing the name "Harrison Ford". Since he was then unaware of the silent-film actor, he could not understand how his own name had been placed there. Buskers perform on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. ...
