Laverne Cox will be immortalized by Madame Tussauds.

The 31-year-old actress is the first transgender person to be chosen for the honor by the wax museum. Cox will unveil her statue at the San Francisco location ahead of the city's 45th annual Pride Celebration & Parade on June 26.

"I am so deeply honored to have been asked to be part of the Madame Tussauds legacy," the star said in a statement. "I hope that this will be a source of inspiration for everyone who encounters it to believe that their dreams matter and are possible."

"Madame Tussauds is proud to recognize Laverne Cox's achievements," spokeswoman Beth Schnitzer said on behalf of the museum. "[The choice reflects] the San Francisco Pride 2015 theme of equality without exception and [underpins] Madame Tussauds' tradition of celebrating and reflecting contemporary society."

Cox is best known for portraying Sophia Burset on Netflix series Orange is the New Black, which will return for a third season June 12. She is the first transgender person to be nominated for an Emmy in an acting category, and to appear on the cover of Time magazine.
