Michael Keaton inducted along with nine others in Pittsburgh Walk of Fame's inaugural class: 'This means the world to me'

Ten stars honoring local legends are now embedded in the sidewalk near the Strip District Terminal, each symbolizing Pittsburghers who have impacted both the region and the world.

A crowd of hundreds — including one inductee, actor Michael Douglas Keaton, a Robinson native — Monday morning watched the first class of notables be inducted into the new Pittsburgh Walk of Fame.

"To be honored here, and boy, included among this inaugural group of honorees, people who have not just shaped Pittsburgh but literally shaped the world, this is almost embarrassing," Mr. Keaton said.

He left Pittsburgh with a "very rough idea" of what he wanted to do. The experiences and people he knew from the area, he said, became parts of the characters he created over his decades-long acting career.
