Melissa McCarthy cements her fame in Hollywood
- 10 years ago
The latest Hollywood star to have their hands and feet immortalised in the forecourt of the TCL Chinese Theatre is Melissa McCarthy. She began her career on her cousin Jenny McCarthy's self-titled show before hitting the big time internationally. with films like 'Bridesmaids' and 'The Heat'.
SOUNDBITE actress, Melissa McCarthy, saying (English):
"When I first moved to LA, 15, 16, 17 years ago, one of the first things I did was, I came to this theater and I looked at all the signatures and the hand prints and I remember thinking, my God, feet are so small. Like, all the little, the actresses from the 50s and 60s, they all look like they had little baby feet but, I certainly never thought that I would be here signing my name in the cement, it's, it's pretty remarkable."
What isn't remarkable is that, like all recipients of stars or cement impressions in Hollywood, Melissa has a film out. 'Tammy', which she wrote, produced and stars in is in US cinemas now.
