Roughly 250 fans lined the sidewalk on the corner of Yucca and Vine streets to be present for the unveiling of Jenni Rivera's Walk of Fame star. The música Mexicana legend died in a plane crash in 2012.
The late regional Mexican singer Jenni Rivera became the recipient of the 2,783rd star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, as her five children accepted the accolade on their mother’s behalf. “It’s such an honor to be the daughter of such an amazing woman, a woman that accomplished so much,” said Janney Marin Rivera, better known as Chiquis, during the ceremony.
Yoseline Castañeda says it's the reason she traveled all the way from Beloit, Wis., briefly popping into Lodi, Calif. to greet her sister before embarking on a five-hour road trip to make the ceremony. “I was like, ‘Oh, she’s , I have to book my flight, I have to be there,’” Castañeda said as she swiveled her head in search of a street vendor selling T-shirts. “I’m excited but sad. I couldn't see her live because I was still young, but at least I could still be a part of this.
