The Hollywood Walk of Fame has received its latest addition, unveiling Sherri Shepherd\u2019s star on Monday. Marking Shepherd\u2019s 30th anniversary of her career in comedy, acting and daytime television.<\/p>\n
Receiving the Hollywood Walk of Fame\u2019s 2878th star, located in front of the W Hollywood Hotel.<\/p>\n
Tyler Perry, Niecy Nash and Ira Bernstein were in attendance at the ceremony.<\/p>\n
Perry, producer of films starring Shepherd, like the 2009 film \u201cPrecious\u201d and \u201cStraw\u201d, Shepherd co-starring with Taraji P. Henson, released earlier this past June, said, \u201cThere are many people on the planet that were sent here to bring light, and then there are other people who are here to be light. Sherri is a person who is light. When she walks in the room, you feel it, you know it. She makes everybody feel seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Shepherd is best known for her work on the big screen and television, Shepherd has had a number of other projects outside of daytime television and films. Last month, she published her first children\u2019s book, \u201cThe Sunshine Queens,\u201d on female friendships. Aiming to celebrate the importance of cheering each other.<\/p>\n
On the stage, she was the first African American to play an evil step-mother on Broadway in 2014.<\/p>\n
Shepherd\u2019s daytime talk show \u201cSherri\u201d airs on FOX, covering pop culture headlines, and premiered in 2022. \u201cI\u2019ve dreamed about having my own talk show since I was a little girl,\u201d Shepherd said at the ceremony just before the unveiling of her star.<\/p>\n
