A TRUE HERO OF HOLLYWOOD

Johnny Grant 1923 ~ 2008 Johnny Grant and Hollywood are synonymous. As Tinseltown’s Honorary Mayor, appointed for life by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, he was one of the community’s most enthusiastic supporters for more than 50 years. He served as the Chairman of the Walk of Fame Selection Committee for nearly 28 years and was on hand to induct more than 600 stars. Johnny received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on his birthday, May 9, 1980, for his contributions to Television and his involvement and support of the Hollywood community. When Hollywood Chamber officials invited Johnny to become Chair of the Walk of Fame. he embraced the chairmanship of with his famous energy and quickly turned things around. He added the fifth category of “Live Theatre” to the Walk and solved the problem of running out of space on the Walk by starting a second row of stars. Over the next three decades, Johnny built the Walk into an iconic worldwide attraction. A master of sound bites, Johnny knew what the press wanted and he knew how to promote the Walk. When reporters complained about selections on the Walk of Fame, he would respond that this was not the Pulitzer Prize, and explained that it was a tourist attraction. When Gregory Peck’s star was stolen, Johnny said to report it to the police but to also send out a press release. In Hollywood, Johnny has a street named after him. He has an office building named in his honor as well as the main Hollywood Post Office. But he will always be identified most closely with the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Councilmember Tom LaBonge Our Distinguished Service Award in Memory of Johnny Grant Recipient is Councilmember Tom LaBonge (CD4).

LaBonge's role as Councilmember for the Fourth District of the City of Los Angeles is the culmination of a lifetime spent in service to his native city. In recognition of his four decades of service, Los Angeles Magazine in 2009 dubbed him “Mr. Los Angeles.” A longtime advocate for parkland with a special affection for Griffith Park, LaBonge counts as one of his greatest achievements in office the acquisition of Cahuenga Peak, which saved 138-acres from development and added as open space to Griffith Park.

He has also worked tirelessly in support of Los Angeles’ Sister City program, maintaining connections with cities all over the world. LaBonge’s ancestors first came to Los Angeles in the 1880s. He currently resides in Silver Lake, with his wife Brigid and their two children, Mary-Cate and Charles.
