HOLLYWOOD — A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will be unveiled Friday honoring Salma Hayek Pinault for a career that has included receiving a best actress Oscar nomination. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Adam Sandler and Oscar-winning director Chloe Zhao will join Hayek Pinault in speaking at the 6 p.m. ceremony in front of the box office of TCL Chinese Theatre Hollywood IMAX. Hayek Pinault and Sandler appeared together in the 2010 comedy “Grown Ups” and its 2013 sequel “Grown Ups 2.” Zhao directed Hayek Pinault in the recently released Marvel film “Eternals.” Due to coronavirus protocols, there is no longer a dedicated area for fans to witness Walk of Fame ceremonies. Fans are encouraged to watch a stream of the ceremony on the Walk of Fame’s website, www.walkoffame.com. “After the pandemic is resolved, we hopefully will go back to normalcy for our ceremonies with fan pits,” Martinez said. The star is the 2,709th since the completion of the Walk of Fame in 1961 with the first 1,558 stars. The ceremony comes five days before the release of Hayek Pinault’s latest film, “House of Gucci,” portraying crafty psychic Pina Auriemma, who Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga) forges a dangerous alliance with after her husband, Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), the head of the family’s fashion house, files for divorce.
