The vibrant city of Palm Springs is set to honor two remarkable individuals, actor Tristan Rogers and the late Dr. Charles “Chuck” Supple, as part of its prestigious Walk of the Stars. This season marks the commencement of the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce’s 2024-2025 star dedication events, highlighting the contributions of these icons to both the entertainment industry and community service.

On November 18, 2024, at 2:30 p.m., Tristan Rogers, famed for his role as Robert Scorpio on ABC’s beloved soap opera “General Hospital,” will be awarded the 471st star on the Walk of the Stars. The unveiling ceremony will take place at 849 North Palm Canyon Drive, celebrating Rogers’ extensive career in entertainment and his dedication to humanitarian efforts.

The Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce expressed its admiration for Rogers, stating, “He has captivated audiences for decades, building a legacy in television history.” His impactful performances and philanthropic endeavors have made him a cherished figure in both the acting community and beyond.

In a heartfelt tribute, the late Dr. Charles “Chuck” Supple will receive the 472nd star posthumously on December 6, 2024, at 3 p.m. This ceremony will occur at 538 N. Palm Canyon Drive, commemorating Dr. Supple’s significant contributions to the Palm Springs community and his pioneering work in healthcare.

Dr. Supple, who moved to Palm Springs in 1967, quickly became an integral part of the local community. He earned the affectionate moniker “Doctor to the Stars” due to his dedication to treating numerous Hollywood celebrities, including icons such as William Holden, Red Skelton, and Steve McQueen. His commitment to providing exceptional medical care and community service has left an indelible mark on the city.

Beyond his medical practice, Dr. Supple was actively involved in enhancing the quality of life in Palm Springs. He served as President of the United Way of the Desert and held the position of Chairman of the Airport Commission, playing a pivotal role in the modernization of Palm Springs International Airport. His vision helped shape the airport into a facility that meets the needs of residents and visitors alike.

Dr. Supple also founded the Palm Springs Academy of Medicine and was a trailblazer in introducing HMO-style healthcare outside of Los Angeles. This groundbreaking initiative made medical care more accessible and affordable for thousands of Southern Californians, showcasing his commitment to improving healthcare for all.

The community is invited to join the celebrations at both star unveiling ceremonies, which will take place in the heart of downtown Palm Springs. These events not only honor the achievements of Rogers and Dr. Supple but also serve as a reminder of the impact individuals can have on their communities through their work and dedication.

As Palm Springs continues to celebrate its rich history and the contributions of its residents, these ceremonies will undoubtedly draw attention to the significant roles that both the entertainment industry and healthcare play in enhancing the quality of life for all. The Walk of the Stars remains a symbol of the city’s appreciation for those who have made a difference, and this season’s honorees exemplify that spirit.

Mark your calendars for these special events and join the Palm Springs community in honoring two extraordinary individuals whose legacies will continue to inspire future generations.
