Breaking Records at 98: The Remarkable Lisa Lu and Her Hollywood Star
Venerated Centenarian: Hollywood Star Ceremony for 98-year-old Lisa Lu - Centenarian Tribute: Hollywood unfurls the star-studded carpet for Lisa Lu, the remarkable 98-year-old inductee
Get ready to swoon, folks! Iconic actress Lisa Lu, at a whopping 98 years young, just became the oldest recipient of a prestigious star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. Known for gracing both the big screen and television, Lu has had a sixty-five-year-strong career in showbiz, leaving a lasting legacy that inspires us all.
Lu, originating from China, was already making waves in Hollywood by the 1960s. She made history as the 2,811th honoree, shattering age barriers and proving that passion for acting knows no bounds.
During the heartwarming ceremony in the beating heart of Hollywood, Lu shared her heartfelt thoughts: "Acting is my life, my passion. This star is a testament to resilience and perseverance." The award, initially offered to her in 1960, was previously declined by the legendary actress. But with time, she now views it as a symbol of her enduring spirit. Her star is located in close proximity to that of Hollywood legend James Stewart, another man whose talent is almost impossible to rival.
One of Lu's earliest leading roles in Hollywood was in the 1960 war drama "The Commander," opposite the inimitable James Stewart. Over the years, Lu has also starred in unforgettable films like "The Last Emperor," "The Heavenly Kings," and Roland Emmerich's "2012."
On the small screen, her presence was just as powerful. She appeared on beloved series such as "Have Gun - Will Travel," "Bonanza," and "General Hospital." Her most recent television role was in the 2024 Hulu series "Death and Other Details."
Her co-star in "Crazy Rich," the fabulous Awkwafina (36), applauded Lu as an outstanding trailblazer and source of inspiration. Lu's star, according to Awkwafina, is a significant step forward for Asian-American filmmakers.
The Walk of Fame is a legendary tribute to celebrities, particularly from the entertainment industry, since 1960. The star-shaped plaques rest upon a sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard, running through the very core of Hollywood.
