One of my favorite actresses Octavia Spencer has finally received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

A vividly emotional Spencer was seen shedding happy tears as she was introduced to the stage to give her speech.
Thanking her longtime friends and colleagues Will Ferrell (Step Brothers) and Allison Janey (The Help) for their support, she became emotional before saying, “To be forever cemented in the mythology of this city and the film industry is an amazing honor. It took me a minute to absorb the profundity of this moment.”
She added, “The culmination of my dreams realized, hard work rewarded after a fair but healthy amount of failure and rejection.” Spencer then went on to name all of the individuals who have contributed to her success as an actress and more while trying to hold back tears.
“If you happen upon my star, while mine will be the only name you see, remember all the names that I just named,” the 52-year-old encouraged. “The people that I just named today, my village. They’re only a fraction of the people that guide me from behind the scenes. For me this isn’t a solitary achievement — for me it took my family, my tribe, my village. And I Thank you.”
