Award-winning actress Jennifer Aniston, singer Jennifer Lopez and the late Richard Burton were among the latest batch of 25 entertainers and industry figures who were selected to receive stars on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said Tuesday.
"The committee has selected a fabulous slate of stars to add sparkle and luster to the Hollywood Walk of Fame over the next year as well as to generate a once-in-a lifetime Hollywood experience for many of the visitors who stop by when their favorite personalities are having their stars placed in the world-famous sidewalk of the stars," said John Pavlik, chair of the Hollywood Walk of Fame Selection Committee.
The honorees were chosen from among hundreds of nominations reviewed by a chamber committee last Friday before it was approved by a board of directors.
Aside from Aniston, who received three prominent awards including an Emmy, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild award, Vin Diesel, Scarlett Johansson, John Lasseter, Malcolm McDowell, Sumner Redstone and Kate Winslet were also named as recipients in the motion picture category.
No dates have been set for the installation ceremonies. Chosen recipients have five years from the date of their selection to schedule the ceremony, according to the chamber.
