Utrecht Walk Of Fame

In Utrecht the Netherlands Film Festival will take place (in 2009) from September 23 up to October 2. One of the official events is the disclosure (onthulling) of the gilt bronze tile in the Walk of Fame in the Vinkenburgstraat.

For that a red carpet is rolled out. On the place where the tile is situated, a square is cut out and later placed back with double sided adhesive tape. The intention is that the “star” takes the square piece of carpet away and….tararaaaa!!! sees the tile, glittering in the sun.

Unfortunately it sometimes happens that the piece of carpet is taken away but..... the adhesive tapes still stick on the tiles so that, at the moment suprême, someone quickly has to remove the tape in order to save the embarrassing situation.
The tile above is the tile of Carice van Houten who played a magnificent role in the film Zwartboek (Black book), released in September 2006.
