Carrie Fisher? Prince? Leonardo DiCaprio? Why don’t these legendary celebrities have stars on the Walk of Fame, but some TV executive from the ’50s we’ve never heard of does?

And then they even actually have to show up to the ceremony. And if the celebrity is dead, that person is only eligible for inclusion five years after their death, with just one posthumous award granted by a voting body annually. But that shouldn’t stop us from trying! So here are some names of individuals who are certainly deserving but you won’t see when you’re strolling Hollywood Boulevard.
