Molly Shannon just received a huge honor – a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
The iconic actress and comedian was honored with the star on Monday afternoon (June 22) in Hollywood.
Molly was joined at the event by her Superstar co-star Will Ferrell and The White Lotus co-star Connie Britton, as well as her husband husband Fritz Chestnut and daughter Stella.
Molly Shannon did her “superstar” pose on the walk of fame!
Molly reprised her SNL character Mary Katherine Gallagher in the 1999 feature film Superstar. She was known for jumping into the air with her hands up and proclaiming that she is a “superstar,” a pose that the actress did on the walk of fame.
“I remember my dad told me, ‘You can always come home anytime. I’ll send you the money and the ticket,’” Molly said during her speech (via Yahoo). “I was so broke that I actually considered it … and then I had an epiphany. I thought, ‘At least I’m out here doing what I love. So many people I knew from high school had given up on their dreams.’ I thought, ‘At least I’m in L.A. trying. And that alone is a very meaningful life, and that is actually a good, brave thing.’”
She added, “There is a lot of rejection in show business and many people will make you doubt yourself, until one day you get on Saturday Night Live and become a superstar. … Getting a star means so much to me. Dreams do come true.”
