I’m surprised she didn’t have one already

So… the Walk of Fame is not actually an award. They’ve worked really hard to make people think it is, but the stars are actually bought. There are a few (very low) entry requirements, but then you just have to pony up the money (I seem to recall it’s around $50k) and anyone can get the “honour”. This is why people like Donald Trump and Zsa Zsa Gabor have one, but plenty of other famous actual actors don’t. The latter simply never cared enough to round up the money.
