She’s already been named a Disney Legend, but now Ming Na Wen is getting her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
That means all the children and even grown-ups who pretended to be Mulan, the Disney princess the actress voiced, will get to take photos next to her star.
Fans may also remember Wen for her role as Melinda May on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Fennec Shand in the popular series The Mandalorian, and Dr. Jing-Mei Chen on the hit show ER.
Many others saw Wen as June, one of the daughters in the classic movie, The Joy Luck Club.
Fellow Joy Luck Club alum Tamlyn Tomita, Lauren Tom and Rosalind Chao will join Wen for the star unveiling on Tuesday and are expected to speak.
