Sixty-one stars from the Hollywood Walk of Fame - including those of Charlton Heston, Cary Grant, Clark Gable and Frank Sinatra - have been removed and stored while a $500-million-hotel-shopping-housing project is built on Vine Street near Hollywood Boulevard.
Eight of the terazzo star squares crumbled as they were removed from the walkway.
"We saved the brass. They'll be rebuilt," said Tim Maxwell, project manager for Webcor Builders, which is involved in the construction project.
