Molly Shannon will be the next entertainer to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The 61-year-old actress and comedian’s friends and colleagues, actors Will Ferrell and Connie Britton, will be speakers at the ceremony, which will be held on 22 June.
Hers will be the 2,850th star, at 6765 Hollywood Boulevard, and will be in the category of Television.
According to walkoffame.com, Shannon spent six seasons on Saturday Night Live as a member of the repertory company, where she created some of the show’s most iconic characters.
Since then, the Primetime Emmy nominee has built an acclaimed career spanning comedy, drama, television, and film.
Among her many big-screen performances are roles in films including Other People, Promising Young Woman, A Good Person, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Year of the Dog.Â
“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce that beloved comedian and actress Molly Shannon will be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her remarkable body of work and enduring impact on comedy and entertainment have earned her this well-deserved recognition. It makes this moment even more special that her star will be placed next to her dear friend and fellow Saturday Night Live alum Will Ferrell, creating a wonderful full-circle tribute to their shared legacy in comedy,” said Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremonies.
