10 Latino celebrities who made big in the Hollywood industry and got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, according to a report from We Are Mitu.

What made a celebrity a star is not about the number of times that they appeared in news outlets, magazines, or tabloids. Not even on the number of awards received. Or even the number of followers that he or she has in her or his social media account. But, it is about having a star in Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

Despite the rarity of accepting diversity in Hollywood, 10 Latinos made big in the industry and got a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. If you don't know them, here are some of them:

1. Christina Aguilera

Christina got her Star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame way back 2010, she was awarded a Star of Recording. There are many reasons why she deserved to have the star and some of them include her four number-one singles on the Billboard's Hottest 100 chart, won five Grammys and has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.

2. Selena Quintanilla

Selena Quintanilla got her star in 2017. Since the award happened years after her death, it was her family who attended the ceremony while her sister helped design her star. No one can question why she should be included in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A few of her awards were Female Vocalist of the Year at the Tejano Music Awards for nine consecutive times, Top Latin Artist of the 90s in the Billboard Magazine, Bestselling Latin Artist of the Decade, Top Latin Album of the Year and Female Artist in 2016. No doubt that she must be included in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

3. Guillermo del Toro
