Sinatra has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: One for his contribution to motion pictures at 1600 Vine Street, one for his contribution to recording at 1637 Vine Street, and one for his contribution to Television at 6538 Hollywood Blvd. Sinatra was a triple threat before it was popular, but it wasn’t easy for him conquer the tube.
