The Hollywood Walk of Fame is home to the stars held by different entertainers. Each year, the committee gets together to look through nominations and choose around 30 artists to honor with a star.
Last week the committee, which consists of previous Walk of Star recipients, released their recipients for 2023. Among the most notable of this year's class are Paul Walker and Jenni Rivera.
Walker is known for his role in the movie franchise "Fast & the Furious", where he appeared alongside Vin Diesel. He was in six of the franchise films before he died in 2013.
Rivera is mostly known for her music that spanned across multiple styles of Latin music like Banda and Mariachi. She became one of the best-selling Mexican artists of all time.
