Oscar-nominated actress and Emmy-winning filmmaker Salma Hayek has gotten her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in honor of a career of nearly three decades of involvement in the international movie scene.
The actress of Frida, Eternals and the upcoming film House of Gucci got her star in the category of motion pictures Friday, Nov. 19.
“Salma Hayek Pinault is hailed as one of the entertainment world’s most respected and sought-after actresses,” stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer adding: “It is our pleasure to honor this talented actress with her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
Born in Coatzacoalcos, in the Mexican state of Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico, Hayek started her acting in telenovelas in the late 1980s, including Nuevo Amanecer and Teresa.
A few years later, she moved to Los Angeles to try to make it in Hollywood but also continued working in Mexico.
Hayek will get star number 2,709 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in front of the legendary Chinese Theatre Box Office, located at 6901 Hollywood Boulevard and joined by fellow actor Adam Sandler.
