In the newly installed section of bricks in "Disney's Magical Walk of Memories" I spotted one for Tom Hanks, his wife Rita and their children (C45 #237). In the past, I've also seen bricks for '80's soap opera actor/singer Rick Springfield (C58 # 436) and the late cartoon character voice actress Mary Kay Bergman (C58 # 11). Can anyone tell me if there are others?

How FUN that the brick is there, we were heading to Build a Bear and spotted Tom and his family at the kiosk buying their brick in June! They had a Disney escort running interferance from autograph hounds and rabid fans ( I'm one of the latter LOL) but he and Rita were so nice they waved and said hi, we left the cameras in the bags out of respect for their family time! The kids were looking at us like we were dorks .. they had that "sheesh it's just our mom and dad" look on their faces..... I want to go find it when I'm at the park again :)

I saw one that said, "Anthony Perkins Family"

It's kind of sad because he died several years ago and his wife died in the sept 11 attacks.

I thought the rules specifically prohibited memorials: I was ready to buy one for Jack Wagner until I saw that in the fine print.

They don't allow memorials such as including the words "in memory of" or giving birth and death dates. I doubt that they would have any policies against purchasing a brick featuring the name of a deceased person.

Yeah who's to say you don't have a great uncle once removed by the same name!

Ang Lee (dir. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Hulk) has a brick pretty close to the Hanks'.

I was just looking at all the bricks on Saturday when I was there and I didn't see those ones! Darn, that would have been fun to see! I ordered mine on Saturday, but I'm no-one special. Tee hee! :D
