Minnie Mouse, whose real name is Minerva Mouse, is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 22. Well-known singer Katy Perry and Disney CEO Bob Iger will be there for the presentation. Minnie is getting her star in celebration of her 90th Anniversary. This is forty years after her longtime friend Mickey Mouse received his star on his 50th Anniversary on November 13, 1978. Minnie's star will be the 2,627th to be awarded. It is very surprising that it took 90 years for this to happen, but everyone is glad that it is finally taking place to celebrate her.
Her star will be a memorial to her long after the ceremony is over.
