Metallica, Barry Bonds, Robin Williams and Nancy Pelosi are among the newest members of the California Hall of Fame.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom announced the 20th class Thursday, marking their final time selecting Hall of Fame inductees.
Honorees span music, sports, entertainment, civil rights, food and wine, and public service. The class includes Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Huey Lewis, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and chef Dominique Crenn.
A formal induction ceremony is planned for December at the California Museum in Sacramento, though an exact date has not yet been announced.
Several inductees will be honored posthumously, including actor Robin Williams, civil rights pioneer Felicitas Méndez, actress Diane Ladd, former National Park Service ranger Betty Reid Soskin and Rob and Michele Reiner.
Metallica joins a long list of major California musicians previously inducted into the Hall of Fame. Bonds enters after a 22-year Major League Baseball career that included seven MVP awards and a record 762 home runs.
Also joining the 20th class are actor Edward Asner, winemaker Andy Beckstoffer, artist Shepard Fairey, author Maxine Hong Kingston and businesswoman and philanthropist Susie Tompkins Buell.
