Lucero’s star won’t ever dim…
The 55-year-old Mexican singer, actress and television personality, dubbed the “Americas’ Sweetheart“, is among the artists who will receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the coming year.
Lucero, known for her influence in Latin music and Hispanic television with a career spanning over four decades, will be honored for her storied television career after starring in numerous hit telenovelas, including Cuando Llega el Amor (1990), Los Parientes Pobres (1993) and Lazos de Amor (1996).
But Lucero isn’t the only Hispanic artist receiving a star…
Mexican American band Intocable, three-time Latin Grammy winners for their Regional Mexican hits, will be honored for their contributions in music.
Intocable is considered one of the most influential group in Tejano and their Tejano/Norteño fusion has become the blueprint for several Tejano bands.
The group’s style combines romantic, hooky melodies, tight instrumentation and vocal harmony.
Paulinho da Costa will also receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Beginning his career as a samba musician in Brazil, he moved to the United States in the early 1970s and worked with Brazilian bandleader Sérgio Mendes. The 77-year-old Brazilian musician went on to perform with many American pop, rock and jazz musicians and participated in thousands of albums.
Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias is one of only two representatives in the Live Theatre/Live Performance category.
The 48-year-old Mexican American stand-up comedian and actor has produced a number of stand-up specials for television outlets such as Comedy Central and Netflix, including I’m Not Fat… I’m Fluffy and Hot and Fluffy.
As an actor, he has appeared in numerous live-action and animated TV shows and films, including starring in the sitcom Mr. Iglesias on Netflix, playing Tobias in the 2012 movie Magic Mike and its 2015 sequel, and providing the voice of Speedy Gonzales in Space Jam: A New Legacy.
He was also the host of the shows Stand Up Revolution on Comedy Central and Fluffy’s Food Adventures on Fuse.
The honorees were selected by the Walk of Fame selection panel of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce from “hundreds” of nominations at a meeting on June 20.
The selections were ratified by the Chamber’s board of directors on June 25.
“We are excited to announce the newest selections of 35 esteemed individuals who will be enshrined onto the Walk of Fame as part of the prestigious Class of 2026,” Peter Roth, former CEO of Warner Bros. Television and chairman of the Walk of Fame selection committee, said in a statement. “These talented individuals have made significant contributions to the world of entertainment, and we are thrilled to honor them with this well-deserved recognition.”
Dates have not yet been scheduled for these star ceremonies. Recipients have two years to schedule star ceremonies from the date of selection before they expire. Upcoming star ceremonies are usually announced 10 days prior to dedication on the Walk of Fame’s official website.
