Director Ron Howard gets a second Hollywood Walk of Fame star

Hollywood director Ron Howard has received his second star on the Walk of Fame, honouring his award-winning career as a film maker. Howard, who won an Oscar for best director for "A Beautiful Mind", got a star on the Walk of Fame in 1981 for a television career that included roles in "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Happy Days." "Two stars are pretty remarkable ... I'm going to have double the foot traffic, twice as many people treading on my good name, but I think it's a great thing and I'm proud of that," Howard said at the ceremony on Thursday. "However, my ambitions run deep, so two is good, three would be better and I've got a lot of energy." Howard, also known for "Apollo 13" and "The Da Vinci Code", was accompanied by his family and actor Michael Keaton, whom he directed in several movies, for the ceremony on the famed boulevard.
