Here is some media coverage of the day, starting with The New Zealand Herald who said:
“Peter Jackson has received his star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame – and he’s scored some prime real estate.

Stuff.co.nz said,
“The year was 1974 and a wide-eyed 12-year-old New Zealander on holiday in the US with his parents was wandering along Hollywood Boulevard marvelling at the iconic actors and filmmakers’ stars embedded in the sidewalk.
The kid was Peter Jackson.
Forty years later, Jackson realised a dream when he was back on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”

We also had photographer Ron Hall hand off a batch of great photos, a few of which we will share. Much more to come from our own staffers in L.A. and UPDATE: Long-time TORn staffer and contributor David Baxter also pitched in some. Excellent!
