Actress, comedian, Golden Globes host, writer and director Amy Poehler has finally been given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (she should have been given one years ago).

“Growing up as a daughter of two public school teachers, I knew very little about Hollywood or Los Angeles and I’d never seen the Walk of Fame. I had no brush with greatness. I knew no one that was an actor or writer. I never imagined I would be here, truly. It’s a genuine honor.”
