HONORED
Patriot Ledger
April 30, 1991
Actress Lee Remick, walking slowly with the aid of a cane, was honored yesterday with a sidewalk star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.
Remick, a Quincy native who has cancer, was honored by more than 100 friends and fans who gathered on Hollywood Boulevard for the unveiling of the walkway’s 1,933rd star.
Jack Lemmon, who co-starred with her in the highly acclaimed Days of Wine and Roses which won Remick an Academy Award Nomination, was among those present to praise the actress.
Remick, 55 has appeared in more than 20 motion pictures, including A Face in the Crowd, The Long Hot Summer, Anatomy of a Murder, Tribute and The Omen.
Her television career included roles in The Blue Knight and Jennie: Lady Randolph Churchill.
Sponsors pay $4,800 for the cost of a sidewalk star. Recipients are selected by a Hollywood Chamber of Commerce committee.
Remick has a home on Cape Cod and spent part of her youth in Massachusetts. She is the daughter of the late Frank Remick, who owned Remick’s department store, for years a landmark in downtown Quincy.
She lived in Quincy until her parents divorced during World War II. She then moved to New York with her mother, Margaret Remick.
In an interview a year ago, Remick talked about her battle with lung and kidney cancer. At that time, she said doctors had given her a clean bill of health following removal of a kidney and other treatment in a Maryland Hospital.
She and her husband, William Gowans, returned to Los Angeles to try to get her acting career back on track.
