Industrialist Andrew Carnegie, journalist Nelly Bly, scientists Jonas Salk and Rachel Carson, playwright August Wilson, artist Andy Warhol, Roberto Clemente, Mr. Rogers, and living inductees George Benson and Michael Keaton. Hundreds of people attended the ceremony, which saw library officials, family members and Keaton himself unveil their new “Stars.” George Benson appeared via video clip. Fred Rogers’s son, John, honored his father by asking those in attendance to take a moment to think about loved ones who have helped them in their lives. And Keaton said a taxi cab driver told him that everyone from Pittsburgh says they are proud to be from Pittsburgh. Afterwards, Keaton was swarmed by fans who wanted a chance to get a selfie with Batman.
