Who Has the Most Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?
One man stands alone among the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Gene Autry, best known for his roles in Western movies from the 1930s through the early 1960s, has five different stars for his work in motion pictures, television, recording, radio, and live performance. Three luminaries have four stars on the popular tourist attraction -- Bob Hope, Mickey Rooney and Tony Martin.
In 1935, Autry starred in Tumbling Tumbleweeds, the first Western with a storyline that centered on the main character's ability to sing -- making it the first ever musical Western. All five of the Singing Cowboy's stars can be found along Hollywood Boulevard.
