For the fourth year, the California Hall of Fame will induct a group of individuals who have changed the state for the better. The ceremony will be held on Tuesday at the California Museum, the site of the hall of fame. The 13 inductees are:

Carol Burnett (comedienne and actress)

Andy Grove (former chairman and chief executive officer of Intel Corp.)

Hiram Johnson (California governor and U.S. senator)

Rafer Johnson (Olympic gold medalist in decathlon)

Henry J. Kaiser (industrialist and founder of Kaiser Permanente and the Kaiser Family Foundation)

Joan Kroc (philanthropist and widow of the founder of McDonald's)

George Lucas (director and producer)

John Madden (NFL player, coach and commentator)

Harvey Milk (politician and gay rights activist)

Fritz Scholder (Native American artist)

Danielle Steel (New York Times bestselling author)

Joe Weider (body builder and founder of numerous fitness magazines, competitions and organizations)

General Chuck Yeager (test pilot, and first to break the sound barrier)

“The inductees don’t necessarily have to be born in California,” said Ashley Robinson, curator and press liaison at the museum California History Museum, 1020 O St. “They do have to have been successful in their careers or done their best work here."

The hall of fame was founded by Maria Shriver, wife of the current governor and a former journalist, in 2006 to honor remarkable achievements of people in California.

“When Gov. Schwarzenegger was elected in 2003, she began a mission to tell the story of our state,” Robinson said.

The museum inducts about a dozen people each year, and “generally shoots for less to make it more special," she added.

Possible inductees are nominated by the public in January and voted on by a special committee over the next few months.

“We start with a list of about 20 and whittle it down, and then Gov. Schwarzenegger and Mrs. Shriver vote on the final choices,” Robinson said.

Shriver will talk at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and the ceremony will start at 6 p.m.

An exhibit honoring each person will be on display at the museum for a year, displaying artifacts and items related to the inductees’ work. Examples include costumes and memorabilia from “Star Wars” for Lucas, artwork by Scholder and documents related to Milk’s work in San Francisco.

These pieces aren't always easy to come by.

“It’s tough to put some of those exhibits together,” Robinson said. “A few of our honorees don’t have any living relatives, and for others it was difficult to find some of the items we have on display."
