    LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- British actress, comedienne(喜剧女演员) and screenwriter(编剧家) Emma Thompson has become the latest addition to the landmark 1 Hollywood Walk of Fame, receiving the 2,416th star in a ceremony held on Friday.

    "It's so appropriate this is outside of a pub," Thompson said of her star on Hollywood Boulevard. "It's the last thing you step on before you get your first drink and the last thing you step on when you reel out."The Oscar-winner actress, 51, dedicated 2 her star to her late father, Eric Thompson, an English actor, writer and director. "He was a wonderful man and a great inspiration to me," Thompson noted 3. "He inspired me to write for children without writing for children."Recalling that her father was taking her to the Walk of Fame when he was in Los Angeles in the 1970s to direct a production of "The Norman Conquests" at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Thompson said, "We looked at all the stars and I remember being really fascinated(使着迷) by this, thinking, 'What a lovely thing to do, put people's names in the pavement where everyone walks about all the time.'""I was thrilled by that," she said.

    Thompson's former boyfriend who dated her when both attended the University of Cambridge, Actor Hugh Laurie, praised her for her enormous talent.

    "She was the most obnoxiously 4 talented person -- and still is -- that I've ever come across," said Laurie, who played the protagonist 5 of the Fox Broadcasting medical drama "House." He has received two Golden Globe awards and several Emmy nominations 6 for his portrayal 7 in the series.

    Born on April 15, 1959, in London, Thompson made her television debut 8 while still in college on the British Broadcasting Corp.'s "Friday Night, Saturday Morning."(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
