<P> Monty Woolley, the veteran film and stage actor best known for The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942) and the classic line "Time flies when you're having fun", is officially listed in the motion picture category, but his star on the Walk of Fame bears the television emblem . Woolley did appear on the small screen late in his career, but his TV contributions were eclipsed by his extensive stage, film, and radio work . Similarly, the star of film actress Carmen Miranda bears the TV emblem, although her official category is motion pictures . Radio and television talk show host Larry King is officially a television honoree, but his star displays a film camera . </P> <P> The Los Angeles Times, which documented and photographed the Walk as part of its Hollywood Star Walk project, reported that it could not find two stars, honoring Richard Crooks and the film career of Geraldine Farrar . (Farrar's music star is located on the 1700 block of Vine Street .) </P> <P> Acts of vandalism occur on the Walk on a regular basis, ranging from profanity and political statements written on stars with markers to attempted removal of brass emblems with chisels . Closed circuit surveillance cameras have been installed on the stretch of Hollywood Boulevard between La Brea Avenue and Vine Street in an effort to discourage mischievous activities . </P> <P> Four of the stars, which weigh about 300 pounds (140 kg) each, have been stolen from the Walk of Fame . In 2000, James Stewart's and Kirk Douglas's stars disappeared from their locations near the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, where they had been temporarily removed for a construction project . Police recovered them in the suburban community of South Gate when they arrested a man involved in an incident there and searched his house . The suspect was a construction worker employed on the Hollywood and Vine project . The stars had been badly damaged, and had to be remade . One of Gene Autry's five stars (it is not clear which one) was also stolen from a construction area . Johnny Grant later received an anonymous phone tip that the missing star was in Iowa, but it was never found . "Someday, it will end up on eBay," Grant once joked . The most brazen and ambitious theft occurred in 2005 when thieves used a concrete saw to remove Gregory Peck's star from its Hollywood Boulevard site at the intersection of North El Centro Avenue, near North Gower . The star was replaced almost immediately, but the original was never recovered and the perpetrators never caught . </P>
