The late Selena Quintanilla, American singer, songwriter, spokesperson, model, actress, and fashion designer, has been honoured with a Hollywood star in a much-anticipated ceremony after two decades after her death.
Selena’s contributions to music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th century.
Though she has been gone for more than two decades, Selena remains one of the most popular and influential Latina music icons.
Her enduring legacy was evident in the star-studded ceremony on Friday amid her family, celebrities and city officials, and legions of adoring fans, reports global media.
At the ceremony, Suzette Quintanilla quoted her sister's words, "Selena said, the goal isn't to live forever, but to create something that will."
And that Selena did; she rose to fame among Mexican Americans and in Latin America with her signature blend of Tejano ballads and contemporary pop.
Some of her most popular songs include: Bidi, Bidi Bom Bom, Dreaming of You, No Me Queda Mas, Amor Prohibido and Como La Flor.
At the age of 23, Selena was shot to death on March 31, 1995, in her hometown of Corpus Christi in Texas.
