The Los Angeles ceremony was held 90 years after the pair’s debut appearance in Steamboat Willie. Minnie thanked fans lining Hollywood Boulevard, many adorned in polka dots and mouse ears, and added: “This really is the best day ever.”Minnie with her star (Richard Shotwell/AP)The Walt Disney Company chief executive Robert Iger celebrated the mouse as a “fashionista” who brings joy to many.
