Billie Jean King's Glorious Achievement: Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

Billie Jean King, a tennis legend, gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Billie Jean King, an icon in the world of tennis, has achieved yet another remarkable feat. At the age of 81, she has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. King is not only one of the greatest female tennis players of all time, having won 39 Grand Slam titles in singles and doubles competitions, but also a passionate advocate for gender equality and social justice. Her victory in the 'Battle of the Sexes' match against Bobby Riggs in 1973 was a significant moment. Additionally, she is the founder of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), and the Fed Cup was renamed the Billie Jean King Cup in her honor.
