Donald Duck gets Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame!

Metalfan · 08-07-2004

FINALLY!! THE DUCK GETS HIS DUE!!!!!

Fowl-mouthed animated character Donald Duck will receive his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next week, the award organization said in a statement.

The irascible cartoon duck, 70, will be honored in a ceremony at 10:30 am Monday, when his star is unveiled outside a Disney Store at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard, according to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce (news - web sites), which bestows the awards.

Donald Duck made his debut in 1934, in a Disney Silly Symphony cartoon, "The Wise Little Hen." He was drawn by animator Dick Lundy and was voiced by Clarence Nash for 51 years. The duck's often unintelligible dialogue is now provided by Tony Anselmo.

"From humble beginnings as a barnyard duck, Donald has become one of the most beloved cultural icons on the planet," the chamber said.

Donald Duck will be the 2,257th star on the walk, but he is not the first animated character to receive the honor. Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and the Simpsons have already claimed their stars.
