American actress Julianne Moore received the 2,507th star on Hollywood Boulevard's "Walk of Fame" Thursday, during a ceremony surrounded by colleagues from her career in film. Wearing a yellow dress and white heels, Moore unveiled her star, located opposite Hollywood's historic Pantages Theatre, one week before the release of her latest film "Carrie," a remake of the classic 1976 horror flick.

"Growing up it never even occurred to me that it was possible to be an actor for a living," Moore, 52, said.

"But I did it because my favorite thing to do was read and it was a way for me to imagine that I was in the book and I loved it," Moore said.

Multiple colleagues from Moore's career in film were present to honor her, including Jay Roach, director of the HBO television movie "Game Change." Actor-director Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who shares the screen with Moore in "Don Jon," which he directed and is currently in theaters, honored his colleague as well.
