But unfortunately for Keaton, one of the Walk’s 10 inaugural inductees, his name was misspelled on his plaque.
While Keaton’s star itself is correct, the description underneath identifies his stage name as “Micheal Keaton,” swapping two letters in his first name.
A new plaque has been ordered and will arrive in about a month, Channel 11 learned. Keaton reportedly did not notice the misspelling.

The Walk in the Strip District also honors industrialist Andrew Carnegie, jazz master George Benson, journalist Nellie Bly, environmentalist Rachel Carson, baseball legend Roberto Clemente, children’s television host Fred Rogers, medical researcher Jonas Salk, playwright August Wilson and artist Andy Warhol.
The Pittsburgh Walk of Fame plans to add more stars in the future. You can share your honoree suggestions by emailing hello@pittsburghwalkoffame.org.
