LOS ANGELES -- Michael Eisner, who as Disney's CEO between 1984 and 2005 oversaw its massive growth into an entertainment giant, was honored with a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame on Friday.
Flanked by actor John Travolta and current Disney chief Bob Iger, the 65-year-old was given the 2,361 star on the famed Los Angeles monument, in front of El Capitan cinema and opposite the Kodak theater, home to the Oscars.
Disney's turnover under Eisner's two-decade-long stewardship rose from $1.5 billion to $30 billion, although he had to resign at the end of 2005 following a shareholders revolt over declining dividends.
