And to think that 30 years ago, people were debated about whether his
"film contributions" merited a star on Hollywood Blvd!  (Of course,
what they were really concerned about was that he was Black and Red!)
And that--just after I'd walked the dingy Boulevard of Dreams looking
for Hollywood icons and only finding the likes of Jan Murray and Art
Linkletter!  Wrong block, I guess.
