STORY:
Valerie Bertinelli received the 2,476th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday (August 22), honoring the television actress' nearly four decade career, which she started in her mid-teens. Bertinelli got her big break in 1975 when at the age of 15 she landed a role on the television sitcom "One Day at a Time," which led to nationwide fame as a teen starlet, and two Golden Globe Awards.
After nine seasons on "One Day at a Time," she went onto a number of roles in made-for-TV movies, guest starring appearances on numerous programs, and a two-decade-plus marriage to rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen, which ended in 2007. She now stars in ensemble comedy show "Hot in Cleveland" alongside Betty White, who attended the star's unveiling.
Speaking at the ceremony, Bertinelli reflected on her years in show business with humility: "You've filled my heart, and remind me again and again of what an amazingly privileged life I have," said Bertinelli.
"I'd like to add that maybe a sense of grace is also essential, and I will do my best to tow the line and keep my feet right where they're supposed to be.... And finally I want to invite everybody to please come to my star on the Hollywood Walk-of-Fame, come by, step on me, walk all over me, I would be honored. Thank you so much," she added.
For anyone that would like to walk all over Valerie Bertinelli, her star can be found at 6912 Hollywood Boulevard, across from the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in the heart of Hollywood.
