Pop Culture favorites, Alvin and the Chipmunks were honored with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame as part of the celebration of their 60th anniversary.
Accepting the star was Ross Bagdasarian Jr., President and CEO Bagdasarian Productions, and his wife, Janice Karman, the company’s co-president, in front of the Hollywood Toy & Costume Shop on Hollywood Boulevard.
Bagdasarian voices Alvin and fellow Chipmunk, Simon, and their manager and human adoptive father, David.
Karman lends her to the third Chipmunk, Theodore, and The Chipettes, Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor.
“The Chipmunks made their debut with the 1958 novelty Christmas song, “The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)” written and sung by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Singles chart and won Grammys for best comedy performance and best recording for children at the inaugural Grammy ceremony in 1959.”
