“Francis Ford Coppola is cinematic gold,” said Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “His legendary career has been a huge part of Hollywood’s film history for decades. We are very proud to welcome him to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and we are thrilled to celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of Hollywood’s most famous films, ‘The Godfather.'”
While his name should already be featured amongst the thousands of other iconic Hollywood business icons, Coppola’s ceremony couldn’t come at a better time — lining up with the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the release of “The Godfather,” the beginning of the epic saga based off of the novel by Mario Puzo.

On top of his success in the film industry, Coppola has also delved into the wine industry, where he runs a successful series of wineries in Napa Valley.
His film career began in the 1960s when Coppola moved to Los Angeles after getting a theater arts degree from Hofstra University in New York. While in L.A. he enrolled in UCLA Film School as a graduate student.
He would help create several films during that time span until 1972, when “The Godfather” became a cinematic milestone, followed by the second installation of the trilogy in 1974 and “Apocalypse Now” in 1979.
His legacy is also carried on by an ever-expanding tree of relatives who have also proven to be successful in the entertainment industry, including his children Sofia and Roman, his granddaughter Gia and his nephews Nicholas Cage and Jason Schwartzman.
