"This is unbelievable. I'm so, so grateful and thankful and humbled," said Gadot in response to Monday's announcement by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.
The 38-year-old Petah Tikva native is one of 31 entertainment professionals chosen to have their names etched on the sidewalks along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Streets in Los Angeles, California, which currently includes 2,789 stars.
Israeli producer Haim Saban was honored with the 2,605th star on the famous strip in 2017.
Gadot's "Wonder Woman" co-star Chris Pines is also set to receive a star. Other notable honorees in the 2024 class include Chadwick Boseman, Michelle Yeoh, Def Leppard, Gwen Stefani, Andre "Dr. Dre" Young, Otis Redding, Ken Jeong, Christina Ricci, Brandy Norwood, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Kerry Washington.
In a video posted to her Instagram account, Gadot said that she found out about the news from her husband Jaron Varsano, who had heard from Israeli media: "I had absolutely no idea."
