Apr 26, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Actor Mel Brooks has finally been awarded the Hollywood Star, an honor that many feel should have been bestowed upon him a long time back. With the 83 year old actor being awarded the honor, it becomes the 2,406th star to be awarded in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. For most of his fans, however, elated though they were, it was a question of what took them so late to award Mel Brooks with the Star. Most of the fans feel that the actor should have been presented with the honor a long time ago, given that he is one of the best actors and filmmakers that Hollywood, and the world has ever known.
Mel Brooks went to receive the Hollywood Star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame accompanied by his son Max Brooks. The other person to accompany Mel Brooks to the Egyptian Theater, where he was given the Hollywood Star, was his long time friend and co-worker Carl Reiner, with whom he had worked in the comedy show “The Steve Allen Show.” Mel Brooks was awarded the honor last Friday.
Mel Brooks is one of the most versatile actors the Hollywood has ever produced. Besides acting, he had also tried his hand at production, and successfully. He had mainly been the producer of comedies, both television shows and films, but later on decided to produce non-comedic genres too. In his career spanning almost four decades, he has won a Grammy, an Emmy, an Oscar and a Tony, one of the few who have been able to manage all four awards in his lifetime.
