Dolly Parton's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will be restored following an act of vandalism that left the iconic plaque badly damaged. The incident occurred Monday when someone deliberately scratched the star and defaced the legendary performer's name inscribed on the brass plaque.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame, which honours achievements in the entertainment industry, maintains protocols for addressing damage to its stars. Officials confirmed that Parton's star would undergo restoration work to return it to its original condition.
Parton, a towering figure in country music known for hits spanning decades, received her star on the walk in 1984. The vandalism marks an unfortunate incident targeting one of the entertainment world's most respected and beloved figures.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame, located along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Los Angeles, features nearly 2,800 stars recognizing contributions to motion pictures, television, recording, radio and live theatre.
