Randy Newman Receives Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

ASCAP writer Randy Newman has picked up most every award a songwriter can earn, but the industry still haven't tired of honoring him. On June 2nd, 2010, Newman earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, right in front of the famous steakhouse Musso & Frank's. Monty Python's Eric Idle and Pixar/Walt Disney Animation Studios Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter were on hand to commemorate the occasion, as were ASCAP's Jeff Jernigan and Cindy Braun.

The unveiling ceremony kicked off a busy month for Newman. On June 18th, the tremendously successful Toy Story 3 debuted in theaters, treating record-breaking crowds to his music for the film. The following week, he earned an ASCAP Film/TV Award for his Oscar-nominated music for The Princess and the Frog. Nearly five decades deep into his gilded songwriting career, Randy Newman's still at the peak of his powers.
