Late Carrie Fisher to be honored with star on Hollywood Walk of Fame on "Star Wars" Day

The late actress Carrie Fisher will be posthumously honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced Tuesday. 

The icon, best known for her role as Princess Leia in the "Star Wars" trilogy, will have her name memorialized on Hollywood Boulevard near the El Capitan Theatre on May 4, "Star Wars" Day — joining her galactic co-stars, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford, who already have stars on the Walk of Fame.

"I am happy to add that her star is just a few feet away from the star of Mark Hamill and across the street from the star of her legendary mother Debbie Reynolds," Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said in a statement.
