Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Reese Witherspoon gets star on Walk of Fame

Reese Witherspoon joined the elite group of entertainers with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame recently, and the Oscar winner revealed, "Never in 462 million years did I think this was going to happen to me. I thought I was going to live in Tennessee and be a doctor."

Reese, who has a new comedy called "How Do You Know" with Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd and Jack Nicholson acknowledged her good fortune and luck "to have been embraced by the community of Hollywood".

"I’m just so lucky that I get the opportunity to do what I love every day," she said. "It’s so nice to go to the movie theater and just escape for two hours and dream, and hopefully my films do that for people."

The actress was accompanied by her two children, daughter Ava, 11, and seven-year-old son Deacon, for the induction ceremony which was held outside the W Hotel in Los Angeles. Reese looked stunning in a black and red polka dot dress as she was presented with her tribute – the 2,425th star dedication on the famous avenue.

Her boyfriend, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, was also there to see his girlfriend – who has appeared in a host of hit films, including "Cruel Intentions," "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Legally Blonde" – receive the accolade.

The 34-year-old actress, who divorced actor Ryan Philippe in 2007 and split from Jake Gyllenhaal in 2009, has admitted she is very "comfortable" in her relationship with Jim and says they are benefits to date someone who isn’t famous.
