I mean, the Hollywood Walk of Fame is about media and entertainment, not science or exploration, so being first to walk on the moon isn't a strictly relevant achievement. I supposed they could credit them for being first to be filmed on the moon, they've been doing that on TV since 1902.

Or maybe it’s the fact that it was the one of the biggest televised events at the time (first overnight broadcast in UK) which Hollywood considered a contribution, but sure Niel. A backwards is alien and all that

The original TV footage of the moon landing has a bunch of animations of the lunar craft landing... because obviously there was no TV crew who went to the moon first - then they'd be the first ones.

(At 8:17 there is even the text displayed message "CBS News Simulation")

Some people use this as 'evidence' that they didn't go.
