Howard, who won an Oscar for best director for "A Beautiful
Mind", got a star on the Walk of Fame in 1981 for a television
career that included roles in "The Andy Griffith Show" and
"Happy Days."
"Two stars are pretty remarkable ... I'm going to have double
the foot traffic, twice as many people treading on my good name,
but I think it's a great thing and I'm proud of that," Howard
said at the ceremony on Thursday.
"However, my ambitions run deep, so two is good, three would be
better and I've got a lot of energy."
Howard, also known for "Apollo 13" and "The Da Vinci Code", was
accompanied by his family and actor Michael Keaton, whom he
directed in several movies, for the ceremony on the famed
boulevard.
"I've been so lucky in this business, I've worked with so many
great people," Howard said.
"I have so few regrets, practically none, and one of them is
just only that it's been far too long since Michael (Keaton) and
I made a movie together, so I'm hoping to rectify that sooner
rather than later."
Howard's latest film is a shipwreck story, "In the Heart of the
Sea".
