Muhammad Ali remains the only figure on the Hollywood Walk of Fame whose star is not embedded in the sidewalk. Instead, his star is mounted vertically on a wall at the Dolby Theatre complex in Los Angeles. The placement was made at Ali’s request, rooted in his personal and religious beliefs, as he did not want people stepping on the name “Muhammad,” which he felt should be treated with respect. Hollywood officials agreed to the exception, making Ali’s star a singular tribute that reflects both his global legacy and his values beyond the ring.
