‘Mulan’ and ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ star Ming-Na Wen has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
unveiled in her honor for a television career that included seven seasons each on "ER" and "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Tuesday's ceremony came one day before the end of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and two days before the release of the third and fourth episodes of "Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai," the animated prequel series to the "Gremlins" film franchise that streams on Max.
"I have to say a real quick word about words -- they come from writers," Wen said. "Without writers, there are no stories, and therefore, no Hollywood. Without writers, we wouldn't be here, none of us would be here. Without writers, there would be no Walk of Fame. So I just want to give a quick shout-out to all our writers ... I support you wholeheartedly."
"Ming-Na Wen Day? I mean, do you know how crazy that is? I have to be honest, I have had such a love-hate relationship with my name. Living in America with a name like mine, trust me, it wasn't easy. In fact, it sucked. It has been mispronounced, misspelled so many times. ... It's amazing how three simple syllables could trip up so many people.As the unveiling subsequently proved, it was not misspelled.
