Legendary tennis player and social equality advocate Billie Jean King has received a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame.
King, 81, is the first woman to be given the honour in the new sports entertainment category.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame was previously reserved for stars of cinema, television, radio, theatre and music.
“The important thing is, I don’t want to be the last one,” said King.
“My family loved music and movies. My mother would have loved this.”
Her star is the 2,807th to be installed on the Walk of Fame, which began in 1960 and runs along along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Los Angeles.
