Martin Scorsese gets star on walk of fame Martin Scorsese, a director known for chronicling the "Mean Streets" of New York, found kinder sentiment on a Hollywood sidewalk Friday. The "Gangs of New York" filmmaker received the 2,217th star on the show-business neighborhood's Walk of Fame, joining recent honorees such as comedian Drew Carey, actress Nicole Kidman and fellow director Steven Spielberg. Scorsese, 60, who was raised in the Little Italy neighborhood of New York City, is best known for his films "Mean Streets" (1973), "Taxi Driver" (1976), "Raging Bull" (1980), "Goodfellas" (1990) and "Cape Fear" (1991). He said he was honored to have his name placed on the same walkway as many historic directors, writers and performers. "Many of these names on the Walk of Fame bloom larger than life. They created the grammar of cinema," Scorsese said at the ceremony, which took place outside the Kodak Theatre, home of the Oscar ceremony. Among those in attendance were his "Goodfellas" star Joe Pesci and "Casino" actress Sharon Stone. Scorsese was also set to receive a lifetime achievement honor Saturday at the Directors Guild Awards, where he was also nominated in the competitive category for his work on "Gangs of New York."
