Ralph’s a star!

HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA — Rock-blooded actress Sheryl Lee Ralph was recognised with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday, April 16, 2025. Her celebration was attended by members of her family as well as the screen and production fraternity. Below she is joined by family members (from left) husband Vincent Hughes, daughter Ivy-Victoria Maurice, and son Etienne Maurice. At left are actresses (from left) Brandee Evans, Jenifer Lewis, Victoria Rowell, and guest out to support Ralph. Among the speakers was actress Loretta Devine.

In her response, Ralph said: “This star isn’t just mine, it belongs to every performer who made space for me, when there seemed to be no space. Ruby Dee, Roslind Cash, Cicely Tyson, Virginia Capers, and many more women whose brilliance lit the path for me during my darkest professional moments. This star is for the work still to come, for the legacy… making the path wider for young artistes to follow.”
