Dolores Robinson, a former Hollywood personal manager, will receive the 485th star on the Palm Springs Walk of the Stars next week in the downtown area.

The dedication ceremony will take place at 1 p.m. March 13 at 849 N. Palm Canyon Drive.

Robinson will receive the star in the entertainment category for her decades-long career managing numerous Hollywood talents, including Martin Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Pierce Brosnan, Mark Wahlberg, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Mariska Hargitay.

She also executive produced two television series and partnered with the late Blake Edwards to form Blake Edwards Entertainment.

One of Hollywood’s top deal makers, Robinson broke barriers as the first Black female personal manager in film and television, according to the city’s Chamber of Commerce.

After retiring to Palm Springs, she has become an advocate for the city and supported several civic and arts initiatives. Robinson is a member of Palm Springs Women in Film and has served as a keynote speaker at College of the Desert. She previously served on the board of Pegasus, a horse ranch serving children with disabilities and autism, and remains active in community efforts throughout the Coachella Valley.
