26 years ago, #OctaviaSpencer left Alabama to pursue an acting career in Los Angeles. Now, she has been immortalized on the world-famous Hollywood Walk of Fame strip with a star bearing her name.
“To be forever cemented in the mythology of this city and the film industry is an amazing honor,” Spencer said.
Star-studded attendees included the likes of Viola Davis, Mekhi Pfifer and Julius Tennon, while Will Ferrell and Allison Janney were guest speakers.
She ended her speech by saying, “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.“
Congratulations, Ms. Spencer! #BWLM💕
