Stacy Keach receives Hollywood Walk of Fame star in July 2019

On 31 July 2019, actor Stacy Keach was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the sidewalk of commemorative stars in Hollywood, Los Angeles. His star was placed in the Television category, on Vine Street near the Hollywood and Vine intersection.

The ceremony was organised by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the local business group that administers the Walk of Fame, and was streamed online. Actor Matt LeBlanc, who worked with Keach on the series Episodes, took part in unveiling the star. Keach was 78 at the time.

The honor recognised a career of more than five decades across stage, film and television. Keach was known for the title role in the crime series Mike Hammer, for the boxing drama Fat City, and for a long record of Shakespearean and classical theater work. The star gave Hollywood's formal recognition to an actor often associated with stage acting and character parts as much as with leading roles.

The ceremony is now recalled as a landmark in his career, as his death at 85 prompted renewed attention to his life's work.
