"This will be a wonderful way to pass along our history and heritage to a new generation," said Leron Gubler, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President/CEO and emcee of the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremonies.
Other memorabilia placed in the 16x16x18-inch container are: messages from elected officials, a script from "Casablanca," a special edition lipstick, an autographed photo of Joanne Woodward who was the first Walk of Famer, a piece of Elvis Presley's star encased in Lucite from Johnny Grant's collection, related DVDs, letters and other items.
