BJK was joined by Jamie Lee Curtis and Magic Johnson in a show of support.
BJK received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today at 11:30 a.m. at 6284 Hollywood Blvd., adjacent to the W Hotel.
King has been breaking barriers for decades, including 39 Grand Slam titles and founding the Virginia Slims Circuit and World Team Tennis.
It's hard to imagine a world of women's sports without Billie Jean King. Her advocacy, entrepreneurship, and mentorship have helped put women's sports in the media and public eyes since the 1970s.
The Women's Tennis Association was founded in June 1973 by Billie Jean King!
