Lea Salonga takes her place among the Hollywood stars
The Philippine Star
|July 18, 2025
Back during a long ago visit to the US of A, I went to Los Angeles to do something I had wanted to do ever since I discovered the magic of motion pictures.
Back during a long ago visit to the US of A, I went to Los Angeles to do something I had wanted to do ever since I discovered the magic of motion pictures. I walked the length of Hollywood Boulevard very slowly while taking note of the names of the luminaries enshrined on pink-hued stars on the sidewalk.
Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, Harrison Ford, Michael Jackson, Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand, the Beatles, Ronald Reagan, Muhammad Ali, even Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Big Bird, Lassie and Rin Tin Tin, plus many others were all there. That strip is the Hollywood Walk of Fame and on some future trip, I will surely be looking at one of those stars with great Pinoy pride because it will be named Lea Salonga.
