The Hollywood Walk of Fame is about to get even more star-studded with the announcement of the 2025 inductees. This year's list includes some of the most talented and celebrated individuals in the entertainment industry, with names like Prince, The Isley Brothers, Glynn Turman, Sherri Shepherd, and many more being added to the prestigious Walk of Fame.
The Hollywood Chamber's Board of Directors finalized the list after careful consideration and deliberation. The news was officially announced by Niecy Nash, Joe Mantegna, Jimmy Jam, and Steven Nissen, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president, on Monday, June 24. One of the most exciting additions to the Walk of Fame is the beloved actor Glynn Turman, who will finally receive a star after over 175 acting credits and decades of hard work in Hollywood.
Turman has graced our screens with unforgettable performances, including his breakout role as Preach in "Cooley High," Colonel Brad Taylor in "A Different World," and Mayor Clarence V. Royce in "The Wire." Other notable names in the motion picture category include John Carpenter, Jessica Chastain, Bill Duke, Robert Englund, Emilio Estevez, Colin Farrell, Jane Fonda, Lisa Lu, Toni Vaz, and Nia Long, who took to Twitter to share her excitement about the news.
But it's not just the motion picture industry that is being celebrated. The Walk of Fame is also honoring stars from various fields, including music, live theatre, sports, and radio. The late music legend Prince will receive a star posthumously, after previously turning down the honor twice during his lifetime. Misty Copeland, Alan Cumming, David Beckham, Orel Hershiser, and Adam Carolla are among the other honorees in their respective categories.
Peter Roth, the Chairman of the Walk of Fame Selection Committee, expressed his enthusiasm for this year's honorees, stating that each one embodies excellence in their fields. He also shared his excitement for seeing them become a part of the iconic Walk of Fame.
Receiving a star on the Walk of Fame is a significant achievement, and there are certain rules that must be followed. The star must agree to receive the star, as this was implemented after Bruce Springsteen turned down the honor. Anyone can nominate a star, but there is a fee of $30,000 to cover the plaque's maintenance and the ceremony's production costs. Additionally, the honoree must commit to attending the ceremony within two years of being chosen.
The 2025 Hollywood Walk of Fame inductees are a true testament to the power of hard work, talent, and determination. Each one has made a lasting impact on their respective industries, and it's an honor to see them be recognized and celebrated in this way. Congratulations to all the honorees, and we can't wait to see their stars shining bright on the Walk of Fame for years to come.
