Glenn Close gets star on Walk of Fame

Glenn Close has been given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Damages actress described the star as a "wonderful honour" and joked that anyone who hates her on screen characters like Fatal Attraction's Alex Forrest should feel free to "stomp" on her.

"To be considered a star is one thing, but to be embedded in the sidewalk with life passing over us, that for me is the best part of this honour," she said.

"Five-inch heels, flip-flops, Birkenstocks, dropped ice cream cones, the odd tobacco squirt, baby carriages, roller blades, skateboards, wheelchairs - bring it all on.

"And if there are those who are really p****d off by... Alex Forrest, they can stomp on me to their heart's content."

Close unveiled the 2,378th star on Hollywood Boulevard at a ceremony yesterday.
