Fonda, who's promoting the DVD release of his 1971 directorial debut "The Hired Hand," accepted the star Wednesday and paid tribute to his place in an acting dynasty.
He's the son of Henry Fonda (news), who died in 1982, and the brother of Jane Fonda (news) — both Oscar winners. His daughter is actress Bridget Fonda (news) and his son is Justin Fonda, a cameraman on films such as "Vertical Limit" and "The Last Ride."
"This is great for me to be able to join my father. I certainly hope my daughter and my son, who is a cameraman, can join me soon," Peter Fonda said at the ceremony.
His father's star is on Vine Street, while the younger Fonda's star is on Hollywood Boulevard in front of the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
Fonda got much of his early training in TV in the 1960s in series including "Wagon Train" and "The Alfred Hitchcock (news) Hour."
The 63-year-old also learned what goes on behind the camera. He produced and costarred in "Easy Rider," the landmark, Academy Award-nominated biker film of 1969 that made Jack Nicholson (news) a star.
My response: He's only gotten his star now???? :eek:
