The 50-year-old actress became the 2,363rd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She called it "an unbelievable honor" for her star to share the same boulevard with movie director Steven Spielberg, actor Marlon Brando and other movie greats.
Spielberg, actor Ed Harris, tennis great Billie Jean King and her two-year-old twin sons were all on hand for the unveiling ceremony Friday.
Hunter earned an Academy Award and worldwide acclaim with her performance as a mute bride to a New Zealand planter in Jane Campion's "The Piano" (1993).
Spielberg directed Hunter in "Always" (1989), and she also appeared in "the Firm" (1993) with Tom Cruise; David Cronenberg's "Crash" (1996); and the Coen brother's "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000) with George Clooney.
