In 1958, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce established the Walk of Fame to celebrate motion picture, television, live theatre/performance, radio, recording, and sports entertainment professionals. Since then, it has become a huge honor to be among the annual inductees getting stars on the sidewalks of Hollywood. On June 24th, Chamber of Commerce President Steven Nissen along with Walk of Famers Niecy Nash, Joe Mantegna, and Jimmy Jam announced the class of 2025.
“The Walk of Fame has made history again! As Chairman of the Walk of Fame Selection Committee, I am thrilled to announce the distinguished honorees who will grace the iconic Walk of Fame in the Class of 2025,” Peter Roth said. “Each honoree truly embodies the essence of excellence in their respective fields. The committee and I cannot wait to see our honorees becoming part of this world-famous walkway!”
