Victor Borge: A Centennial Celebration
A celebration to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of Borge’s birth was held from Jan 23-May 2 at New York’s American-Scandinavian Foundation. It took the form of exhibits of film clips, photos, and other memorabilia.
I have seen a couple of websites that claim Victor Borge received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1993. I have even found Walk of Fame Committee notes approving of his star. (http://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2009/09-0943_rpt_boe_4-24-09.pdf See Page 5). However, there is no evidence of his star existing. Can anyone tell me what happened? I think he should have a star. Thank you.
