“To be forever cemented in the mythology of this city and the film industry is an amazing honor,” Octavia Spencer said in her speech.
On Dec. 8, the Oscar-winning actor received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Spencer, 52, was overcome with emotion as the honor was bestowed.
Spencer recalled a time 26 years ago when she drove from Alabama to Los Angeles with $3,000, a 48-inch TV, a suitcase and “a heart filled with dreams. This dream.” “If you happen upon my star, while mine will be the only name you see, remember all the names that I just named,” she said. “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.”holiday movie “Spirited”
