Naomi Watts has been immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The two-time Oscar nominee was honored Monday for her grace, grit, and lasting impact on
film.
Watts broke out in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive in 2001 and went on to earn Oscar nods
for 21 Grams and the Impossible Plus, an Emmy nomination.
She reflected on how her mother's stage performance first sparked her passion for acting.
The first time I saw her acting up close, I was four years old, sitting in the front
row watching my mom play Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
She was so gorgeous, gliding across the stage in her wig and talking in this funny voice
in this special dress.
And I kept waving at her.
I was confused as to why she wasn't waving back at me.
But finally, she gave me this little hand gesture, a little wink, and went back to playing
her part.
But in that moment, I understood the world of make-believe, and I wanted to be a part
of it.
Bay on the screen, Watts is a champion for women's health.
And recently, yes, I've become a bit of an advocate for my non-Hollywood life, and people
call me the menopause lady.
I consider today a moment where those two worlds collide.
This honor is a testimony to the fact that a woman's viability does not end when she
turns 40, 50, or 60, or 70, or onwards.
Producer Ryan Murphy praised Watts' humility, revealing she'll next portray Jackie Kennedy
in his series Love Story.
And recently, I was working on a rough cut of Love Story, a tour-de-force episode specifically
written for Naomi, to show all that she can do, and I called her to rave about her performance,
to celebrate another astonishing transformation, to tell her that people who have watched this
episode were sobbing at the end by Jackie's final goodbye.
Naomi's reply, which is so like her, wasn't, I knew it, or nailed it, or great.
It was simply, really, I'm good in it?
More than her talent, more than her good works, it is Naomi Watts' humbleness, her grace,
and her unknowing gravity which consistently move me.
