George Hamilton
Film: North side of the 7000 block of Hollywood Boulevard
Actor
Born Aug. 12, 1939 in Memphis, TN

Famous for his deep tan, George Hamilton is probably as well known for his playboy and jet-setting ways as he is for his film and television roles.

The women of his life have included Susan Kohner, to whom he was engaged; Elizabeth Taylor; Lynda Bird Johnson; Danielle Steel; and his ex-wife, Alana Stewart.

In the early 1960s, he was under contract at MGM and made films including "Home From the Hill," "Where the Boys Are" and "Your Cheatin' Heart." He's had comebacks with films like "Love at First Bite" and "Zorro, the Gay Blade" and spent some time on '80s nighttime soap "Dynasty." He's even appeared on "Dancing With the Stars."

Along the way he forged friendships with the likes of Cary Grant, Robert Mitchum, George Peppard, Imelda Marcos and even Elvis Presley's notorious manager, Colonel Tom Parker.
