Hollywood Walk of Fame

Six and a half years after her untimely death, beloved Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher got her long overdue Hollywood Walk of Fame star – and on Star Wars Day. The posthumous honor on the famed Los Angeles tourist attraction made Fisher forever commemorated with a star near the historic El Capitan Theatre, steps away from those of fellow Star Wars co-stars Harrison Ford, who played Han Solo, and Mark Hamill, who played Princess Leia’s twin brother Luke Skywalker.

He was already an accomplished photographer with several photo books published as well as a best-selling novelist when Hollywood came knocking. Guillermo del Toro gave him his acting start in Mimic but he really became a star with The Walking Dead.

Behind every ceremony in which a star is presented on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, there is a Latina. Ana Martinez, born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of a Peruvian father and a Mexican mother, has been a producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremonies for 35 years.

As we get our weekly fix of Saturday Night Live Kenan Thompson has been our bedrock of the show, a cast member since 2003, making him the longest running cast member in the show's history. He has also taken his considerable comedy skills to his popular TV comedy series Kenan and memorable movie roles in Barbershop 2: Back in Business, Going in Style and D3: The Mighty Ducks.
