Late actor Chadwick Boseman, known for his roles in Black Panther and 42, will posthumously receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, five years after his death from colon cancer at age 43.
The ceremony is set for Thursday, November 20, at 6904 Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles, where his widow, Simone Ledward-Boseman, will accept the honor, Daily Mail reported.
Boseman will be celebrated by Black Panther director Ryan Coogler and Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis, who starred with him in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
Ana Martinez, producer for the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said in a statement:
“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is deeply honored to celebrate Chadwick Boseman’s extraordinary legacy with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His powerful performances and enduring impact both on and off screen continue to inspire generations around the world.”
Boseman passed away in August 2020 after a private four-year battle with colon cancer. His family revealed that he had filmed several of his final projects, including Marshall, Da 5 Bloods, and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, while undergoing surgeries and chemotherapy.
The actor, who brought King T’Challa to life in Black Panther, is survived by his wife and a parent.
