(30 May 2017) KERI RUSSELL'S 'FELICITY,' 'THE AMERICANS' CO-STARS CELEBRATE HER WALK OF FAME HONOR
While most celebrities soak up the chance to receive a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, J.J. Abrams teased that it's quite the opposite for Keri Russell.
"I don't care if there are 3215 other stars. There's never been one placed representing someone with a bigger heart or more talent. I know Keri over many years. I know how social she isn't. I can't tell you how much she hates this," said J.J. Abrams.
Abrams, co-creator of Russell's cult classic TV hit "Felicity," was on hand at the actress' star ceremony Tuesday (30 MAY 2017) in Los Angeles.
"And she is one of the sweetest people, one of the most wonderful friends, mothers, co-workers that you could ever hope to know. So it is an honor for all of us who know and love Keri to support the 3216th star in honor of our dear friend, Ms. Keri Russell," he told the crowd.
Russell's boyfriend and her "The Americans" co-star Matthew Rhys also attended the celebration.
During her short speech, Russell joked that perhaps the honor had a different meaning.
"I have to admit, when I first heard about this I was a little surprised and confused because when I think of Hollywood stars, I think of these really iconic people like Judy Garland or Johnny Carson. And I thought, 'Do they know something that I don't know?' Like am I about to die or is it over? Like is this it for my career? Like at the twilight of my career? Like you've done that college kid, the Russian spy, and now it's done? Here is your star, make room for other people," she said.
Russell told the crowd about a family friend who recorded her first interview on camera as a child.
"And he sat us down and said, 'State your name, age, and what you want to be when you grow up.' And he had said to me, 'Do you want to be an actress?' And re-watching the video years later, I say 'No, I don't.' And I said, 'What I want to do is travel around the world and take pictures.' And I feel like that's what I get to do in some way. I get to travel the world and see these things I have never seen and meet incredible people and live this wild adventure that this career affords and I am very thankful for it. So thank you so much and thank you," she said.
After the event, Russell admitted it was a bit of an out of body experience.
"It's so wild! You know, I really meant what I said it's so … When I think of a star on the Walk of Fame, I think of these amazing, you know, artists. People like Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe. So it is a lot to wrap your head around! But it's an amazing moment. It's really incredible and I think even a few years from now it'll sink in a little bit more when I get out of the nervousness of being here," she said.
Along with her "Americans" cast, including Noah Emmerich and Holly Taylor, Russell's "Felicity" co-star Scott Speedman joined in the festivities.
"I think it just speaks to a special chemistry of what that show was and, for a lot of us, that we're all still friends. It was just a special time, even for Matt and J.J. I think we all grew up on that show. None of us had really been entrenched in that kind of series before so we all learned along the way and kind of grew up," she said of "Felicity."
The mom of three hopes to share the special honor with her kids one day.
"They're still a little young, but I will definitely bring them," she said.
The season 5 finale of "The Americans" airs Tuesday on FX.
