So it’s pretty fitting that her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony is also pillared by a blast from the past.“I got very emotional, and I thought about my mom driving me across the country when I was 9 years old from Philadelphia in search of a better life,” she tells Variety. “I thought of her becoming a personal manager and signing her first client, LeVar Burton.

She was the OG momager and she is absolutely the reason why I’m getting this star.”Fast forward to June 21 and Burton is one of the people speaking on Peete’s behalf when she receives that star. “I can’t wait to hear him speak on the 11-year-old Holly,” she adds.
