The Hollywood Walk of Fame is managed by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and features over 2,600 stars. The tradition began in 1960 when actress Joanne Woodward earned the first star on the “most famous sidewalk in the world.”
Irwin’s children both help out at the Australia Zoo, which is a 100-acre preserve on the east coast of the continent. The zoo is currently owned by Steve’s widow, Terri, and was the filming location for a number of “Crocodile Hunter” scenes.
