There are also two posthumous stars for 2015 – one for screenwriter and novelist Raymond Chandler and another for Batman creator Bob Kane.
Cartoon character Snoopy will be awarded a star too, for his classic appearances in the Peanuts specials.
Recipients have five years to schedule their ‘star ceremonies’ from the date of selection before they expire. Each year, around 24 of these events are broadcast around the world.
