Available now in the iTunes Store, The Times Star Walk app delivers the precise locations of every star honoring film and television actors, directors, singers, songwriters, and beloved personalities from radio and stage, along with a showcase of photos and comprehensive bios culled from more than a century of Times coverage.
“Where are Marilyn and Elvis? Who was Lotte Lehmann?” asked The Times’ Managing Editor, Online Sean Gallagher. “Imagine having a guide with first-hand knowledge of Hollywood’s most famous, infamous, celebrated and obscure characters, and that’s what Star Walk delivers.”
Star Walk also maps nearby points of interest and places meaningful in the celebrities’ lives, as well as charts connections between the stars. Each can be found via GPS, name search or browsing categories. Hollywood visitors can find the luminaries closest to their current location and easily create a custom tour to help navigate the extensive Walk of Fame.
