The star that Penélope Cruz has on the Walk of Fame in Madrid has woken up shattered and the letters with her name have disappeared.
According to the workers of the cinemas that are next to the Walk of Fame, there are many people who come to take pictures with the stars and complain about the deterioration in which some of them are.
Although it is not the first star on the Madrid Walk of Fame to appear busted, they have never before been the target of an act of vandalism. Most had suffered from the weight of passing vehicles.
Although of the 25 stars that the Madrid Walk of Fame had, that of the actress Carmen Maura had already disappeared a long time ago, and that of the actor Javier Bardem, husband of Penélope Cruz, and that of the director Luis García Berlanga are partially damaged.
A week ago, the Ministry of Culture and Sports awarded the 2022 National Film Award to Penélope Cruz for having “an exceptional career” internationally, which has not prevented her from continuing to maintain “a firm link with Spanish cinema”.
The first idea to place the plaques came from Jesús Robles, one of the owners of the Ocho y Medio store. The Film Academy, one of the promoters of the project, chose the names of the 25 slabs and promised to lengthen the walk every year with one more name, which only happened once, when director Luis Escobar was added.
