Woody Allen is filming his latest film in Rhode Island and now he’s left a permanent mark on Pawtucket.

The iconic director left a hand print and signature in a block of cement in the town’s “Walk of Fame”.

The block will be placed outside the former Riverside Diner in Pawtucket’s Time Square.

The city’s walk includes handprints from Dustin Hoffman and others from the movie “American Buffalo,” which was filmed in Pawtucket in 1995.

Local officials are still hoping Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone, the stars of Allen’s new movie, will add their handprints as well.

Allen filmed in Downtown Pawtucket last week.
