LOS ANGELES—In recognition of their outstanding contributions to the true crime genre, convicted killers Lyle and Erik Menendez were honored this week with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “The Menendez brothers have truly set the standard for aspiring murderers everywhere,” Monsters showrunner Ryan Murphy said in a speech noting that the duo’s local Beverly Hills roots were part of what made the occasion so special and that many look upon the siblings, who are currently serving life sentences for first-degree murder, as hometown heroes. “It has been an extraordinary privilege getting to work with Erik and Lyle and learn about the immersive process they undertook to gun down their parents. The Menendez brothers are true multihyphenate talents, and I am particularly honored to be associated in some small way with the Walk of Fame stars who did so much for this city and the entertainment industry.” The honor from Hollywood follows the brothers’ recent induction into the NBA Hall of Fame for appearing courtside in the background of Knicks guard Mark Jackson’s 1990–91 basketball card.
