Danny DeVito received on August 18^th the 2,445th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in los Angeles C.A., honoring a career that started slow but ultimately turned him into a success both in front of and behind the camera.

The ceremony was held in connection with the Sept. 13 release of the DVD of the sixth season of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” the FX comedy in which DeVito co-stars as the ne’er-do-well co-owner of a Philadelphia bar.

Putting a new twist on the tradition of having the honoree be the first person to step on the sidewalk star, DeVito took off a shoe and sock stood on his star with one bare foot.

DeVito’s first high-profile role was as the caustic dispatcher Louie De Palma on “Taxi,” which ran on ABC from 1978-82 and NBC in the 1982-83 season. DeVito received four Emmy nominations as outstanding supporting actor in a comedy or variety series, winning the award in 1981.

DeVito’s film credits include “Batman Returns” as the Penguin; “Romancing the Stone,” “The Jewel of the Nile” and “The War of the Roses” with his longtime friend Michael Douglas; “Twins” and “Junior” opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger; “Terms of Endearment”; “Ruthless People”; “Tin Men”; “Hoffa”; and “Matilda.”

He directed “Throw Momma from the Train”; “The War of the Roses”; “Hoffa”; “Matilda”; “Death to Smoochy”; and “Duplex.”

DeVito’s movie producing credits include best picture nominee “Erin Brockovich”; “Pulp Fiction”; “Get Shorty”; “Man on the Moon”; “Gattaca”; and “Garden State.” From 2006-2010, he appeared on 63 episodes of TV series “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” as character “Frank Reynolds.”

This masterful adaptation of the eponymous nineteenth-century Portuguese novel (by Camilo Castelo Branco) made by Raul Ruiz evokes the complex intertwined narratives of Victor Hugo and Charles Dickens. The core story centers on Joao, the bastard child of an ill-fated romance between two members of the aristocracy who are forbidden to marry, and his quest to discover the truth of his parentage. But this is just the start of an engrossing tale that follows a multitude of characters whose fates conjoin, separate and then rejoin again over three decades in Portugal, Spain, France and Italy.

Jani Lane, the former lead singer of the metal rock band Warrant, who was found dead a day earlier in a hotel room in the San Fernando Valley, which is north of Los Angeles.

According to some sources, Lane’s death is being treated as a possible accident as opposed to one resulting from natural causes, but Harvey said weeks of toxicology and tissue testing may be needed before any conclusions can be drawn.

This death is a mystery, so GalaTView has thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
