Legendary actress Sheryl Lee Ralph was honored last week with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Ralph was honored with the 2,808th star in the category of television on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday, April 16.
Born in Waterbury, Connecticut, Ralph was the youngest woman to graduate from Rutgers University at 19 years old. One year later, she landed her first on-screen role in "A Piece of the Action.”
"I'm not just part of the fabric that is Hollywood, I'm part of the cemented foundation that is Hollywood, and I'm surrounded by people that I love and respect," Ralph said at the ceremony.
Abbott Elementary co-star Quinta Brunson spoke at the ceremony and described Ralph's smile as brighter than the Hollywood sign.
"To be around her is to be around Hollywood history, grace and legend." Brunson told the crowd at the ceremony. "She is a master class in what it means to be an eternal and consistent diva. She commands the room and gives you a show. She is who you came to see, and she is our star."
Other Abbott Elementary cast mates also showed up to support, including William Stanford Davis, Tyler James Williams, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti and Janelle James.
