Franco Nero honored with star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Italian film icon Franco Nero was awarded the 2,835th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, receiving the honor in the Motion Pictures category.
The 84-year-old actor, whose career spans more than six decades and over 200 films across Europe and the U.S., rose to international fame with his role in Sergio Corbucci’s 1966 classic Django, which became a defining work in the Western genre and later inspired reinterpretations, including Django Unchained, where Nero made a cameo. Over the years, he has worked in genres ranging from Westerns and historical epics to political dramas and thrillers, collaborating with directors such as Rainer Werner Fassbinder, John Huston, Luis Buñuel, and Franco Zeffirelli, and appearing alongside some of the most celebrated actors of his generation. Beyond acting, Nero has directed, written, and produced films. Speaking ahead of the ceremony, he credited his enduring career in part to his wife, Oscar-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave, whom he has been married to since 2006, saying her determination inspired him both personally and professionally. The couple shares a son, Carlo Gabriel Nero.
