Family feud sparked over the upkeep of Carrie Fisher’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star

A family dispute has arisen over the maintenance of the late Carrie Fisher’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Fisher’s brother Todd claims that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has not adequately cared for the star, which has become worn and discolored over time. In response, the Chamber of Commerce says that it has followed proper maintenance procedures and that the star’s appearance is due to natural wear and tear.

Todd Fisher has also criticized the Chamber of Commerce for allowing the star to be used as a political platform, citing instances where protesters have placed political stickers and graffiti on it. The Chamber of Commerce has stated that it does not condone this behavior and has taken steps to remove any political markings from the star.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a popular tourist attraction that features the stars of famous entertainers. The stars are maintained by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which is responsible for their upkeep and maintenance.

Carrie Fisher, who passed away in 2016, was a beloved actress and writer who is best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise. She was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015.

The dispute over Fisher’s star highlights the challenges faced by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in maintaining the Walk of Fame. As the stars age, they require more frequent maintenance and upkeep, which can be costly and time-consuming. Additionally, the Chamber of Commerce must balance the desire to honor the legacies of famous entertainers with the need to prevent the stars from becoming political battlegrounds.
