Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress Naomi Watts receives star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES — Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress Naomi Watts is the latest star to be inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

She received her star on the Walk of Fame on Monday.

Watts’ career has spanned 25 years — from her breakout role in David Lynch’s L.A. cult classic “Mulholland Drive,” to her recent run of collaborations with writer-producer Ryan Murphy.

Along with Murphy, Watts was joined by her husband, Billy Crudup, plus current and former co-stars Jack Black, Kyle MacLachlan, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash and more at her star ceremony.

Watts said the whole Walk of Fame experience was beyond her wildest dreams.

“I’m out of my body right now, but I do think later I will look back on this moment, even tonight, and feel immense pride and excitement. You know, there was all that going into it, it’s just surreal at the same time. But yeah, a lot of hard work, and you know, resilience,” Watts said. “I nearly quit many times. I just didn’t know what else to do or what I was qualified to do, and I love acting. It’s a privilege to get to tell stories.”

“You will never have more fun than making a film with Naomi. She is the highest talent-to-lowest pretension ratio of anybody. She’s stilletos on the red carpet and sketchers in rehearsal on set,” fellow actor Edward Norton said.

“A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is one of our industry’s top honors. It’s the Viagra of awards. You are only gifted this rare achievement if you last,” Murphy said.

Next month, Watts will star in Murphy’s new all-star ensemble Hulu series “All’s Fair,” playing a member of a group of female divorce attorneys who leave a male-dominated office to open their own firm.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
