Jenifer Lewis intentionally receives her Hollywood Walk of Fame star on ‘Jackie Washington Day’

Jenifer Lewis, best known for starring in the hit ABC sitcom “black-ish” for eight seasons, scored a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Friday.

The plaque sits next to late silver screen legend Katharine Hepburn, who remains one of her all time favorite actresses.

“They originally offered to place me next to a rapper and I hung up the phone on them,” the 65-year-old showbiz veteran joked to the Daily News. “It is apropos and very fitting that I am next to Katharine Hepburn. She was a rebel and she was before her time. I am totally honored, it’s amazing.”
