Posthumous Walk of Fame

Despite having a huge following and claim to fame, it took The Three Stooges until 1983 to get their rightful star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Unfortunately, none of the original Stooges were alive to see their own star in Hollywood. At one point, they were so offended at their lack of acknowledgment that a running joke they had was about painting a star in the middle of Hollywood and Vine for themselves.
