There are billions of stars in our galaxy but 2,740 are on Hollywood Boulevard. The most recent addition to the Hollywood Walk of Fame is none other than Christina Applegate.

The first star on the famous landmark was unveiled in 1960 and 62 years later, Christina has her own. The 51-year-old actress is known for her role in one of the most beloved families on American television.

She was the ditzy and charming Kelly Bundy in Married...With Children. "Anyone who can play that dumb, that good must be a brilliant actor," said her friend and TV brother, David Faustino who was present at the unveiling ceremony.

He didn't lie because Christina is a brilliant actress even when she's not playing a ditzy character. Her Primetime Emmy win, Golden Globe, and Tony nominations are enough accolades to prove that!

Now, she has her very own star on Hollywood Boulevard. The Dead To Me actress was supposed to receive the star in 2020 but it was indefinitely postponed because of several reasons, one of which is a global pandemic.

It may have been delayed but it was certainly worth the wait! Friends, family, and fans cheered on as the shiny new star on the Boulevard was revealed for everyone to see.

It was the actress' first public appearance since her MS diagnosis and what a smashing way to make her second debut in Hollywood

The unveiling was livestreamed and a lot of people tuned in to witness the momentous occasion

Christina has wanted a star on the Boulevard since she was five years old

It was a 46-year wait but that look on her face proves that her patience and hardwork paid off!

The talented actress is unstoppable

Christina lovingly refers to her friends as her family, her people, and her loves

Her TV brother, turned lifetime friend, David Faustino recalled his fond memories with the actress

He remembered seeing her during the casting for Married...With Children and how he thought she was the perfect person to play Kelly Bundy. Their joint trip to Israel and Egypt with both of their moms brought a smile to his face.

Katey, who played Peggy in Married...With Children said she considers Christina as one of life's teachers

Apparently, this has been the case even when the actress was just 16 years old. The love between the actress was palpable as Katey revealed that Christina still calls her Mommy.

Dead To Me's show create, Liz Feldman brought levity to the event as she said Christina is one of her generation's greatest actors who also happens to have the humor of a 13-year-old boy & whose favorite word is butthole!

Linda Cardellini, her co-star in Dead To Me, said she didn't think she would make a friend for life when she agreed to do the show

The actress was also presented with a Plaque of Recognition from the City of Los Angeles to celebrate all of her accomplishments

And... November 14 is officially Christina Applegate Day in Hollywood!

The teary actress kept her speech short because she can't stand for too long, thankfully Katey was there to support her or as Christina said "steal the show"

Christina couldn't stop her voice from shaking as she talked about how blessed and grateful she is for her daughter who is the most important person in Christina's life

Finally, the 2,740th star on the Walk of Fame was unveiled for all the world to see!
