George Romero Finally Gets Star on Walk of Fame

Earlier this year, the iconic horror filmmaker George Romero passed away from cancer, leaving a legion of fans of his work. Earlier today, Hollywood Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez shared on Twitter that the filmmaker will receive the ultimate tribute as he will be honored as the 2,621st star to be dedicated on the iconic Los Angeles sidewalk.

“The fact that fans nominated Mr. Romero for the Walk of Fame star speaks volumes of how loved he was for his work in the horror film genre and for being the person he was,” Martinez shared in a statement. “Fortunately, prior to his passing he learned that he was selected for a star, and we are saddened that he won’t be here with us for his special day.”

It is great news that Romero will receive the ultimate tribute as his work and career has made him truly deserving.
