Kerry Washington is over the moon after earning a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Speaking to PEOPLE, the UnPrisoned star opened up that she had fulfilled her father Earl Washington’s dreams.
“It was kind of a bucket list achievement for my dad,” said the 47-year-old.
Reflecting on the honour, Kerry told the outlet, “I think it was something my dad had always dreamed of and asked me about, and so it was really special to be able to be here today to share this moment with my parents and to have them be here with me.”
On December, Kerry received the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her achievements in television.
During her acceptance speech, the Scandal alum revealed that this star had been a full circle moment for her and her family.
“Once upon a time, years later, decades later, that same uncle Cliff all grown up came to Los Angeles on a vacation with his wife Vicky, and he found a star somewhere on the Walk of Fame with his last name on it,” recalled the actress.
Kerry mentioned, “Maybe it was Jerry Moss or Elizabeth Moss. We don’t really know exactly who it was because he used his body and the angle of the camera to cover the first name or the real recipient.”
“Here we are, mom, dad, can you believe it? An actual star. You made a wish and it came true,” remarked the Little Man actress.
Kerry stated, “Now I am swirling in a galaxy of other stars, all encouraging each other to shine brightly and to light the way for somebody else’s dreams.”
“It’s fun for me to imagine some kid with the last name Washington, or maybe the first name, Kerry, using their pose in a selfie to cover up half of my name to make room for their legacy,” she added.
