Oscar-winning U.S. actress Holly Hunter has been immortalized in concrete
as her name was embedded and her film career honored on Hollywood's "Walk of
Fame," according to media reports today.
The 50-year-old actress became the 2,363rd star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame. She called it "an unbelievable honor" for her star to share the same
boulevard with movie director Steven Spielberg, actor Marlon Brando and other
movie greats.
Spielberg, actor Ed Harris, tennis great Billie Jean King and her
two-year-old twin sons were all on hand for the unveiling ceremony Friday.
Hunter earned an Academy Award and worldwide acclaim with her performance as
a mute bride to a New Zealand planter in Jane Campion's "The Piano" (1993).
Spielberg directed Hunter in "Always" (1989), and she also appeared in "the
Firm" (1993) with Tom Cruise; David Cronenberg's "Crash" (1996); and the Coen
brother's "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000) with George Clooney.
