STAN LEE'S STAR
When Stan Lee’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled at 11:30 a.m. on January 4, 2011, the legendary Marvel editor/writer/guru/mogul/publicity tout pronounced himself thrilled.
"Would you believe I'm on the same block as Paul Newman and Sophia Loren?” he asked reporters. “I really still can't believe it. I think they have me confused with someone else, but I'm not gonna tell them!"
Lee, who has enjoyed numerous cameo roles in his characters’ superhero films, also joked that he hopes his Hollywood star will lead to more acting slots, he told contactmusic.com: “One good thing about it: maybe now I’ll be able to get cameos of more than 30 seconds in length. With my new elevation to legendhood, maybe I’ll rate a full minute from now on!”
The Stan Lee star is located at 7072 Hollywood Boulevard. It is the 2,428th on the fabled walk.
Lee told Alan Duke at CNN that he spends time these days also working on the Stan Lee Foundation, a nonprofit group that concentrates on educating children. “To me, education is one of the most important things in the world," Lee said. "Somebody who isn't educated, it's like running in a race with one leg tied behind them."
He's also still writing new stories for his POW! Entertainment company. “The most important thing in the world is to keep busy, and I'm happy to say I'm lucky enough to still be busy," he said.
