Here’s a look at the seven Louisvillians who will get the Jack Harlow treatment, although specific details on where + when individual banners will be placed are TBA.
Nicole Scherzinger
Louisville’s not normally into celebrating cats, but we’ll let this one slide. Musical performer and actor Nicole Scherzinger was a member of the pop group the Pussycat Dolls from 2003 to 2010 — the group’s two albums sold 55 million copies worldwide. Since then, she’s served as a panelist on “The Masked Singer,” performed in award-winning roles on Broadway, and voiced a character in Disney’s “Moana.”
