From The Man in the Moon to a star on the street.

Reese Witherspoon received the 2,425th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today in honor of her Oscar-winning movie career, which started in 1990 with an open casting call for the tear-jerker coming-of-age drama Man in the Moon.

"What I understand now, after 20 years of making movies, is that the achievement is being part of a community of people—often who have done this for generations—who are the best at what they do," the 34-year-old actress and Glamour cover girl said.

With Reese were her kids, Ava and Deacon, and filmmaker James L. Brooks, who just directed her in How Do You Know—out Dec. 17, natch.

Also sniffing around the ceremony was the chihuahua who played Bruiser, Reese's closest companion in Legally Blonde.
