‘Glee’ actress, Disney villain, Tony, Emmy winner gets Hollywood nyota 

Actress-singer Kristin Chenoweth received the 2,555th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday, honoring a career that has brought her both a Tony and an Emmy.

Television legend Carol Burnett and Kenny Ortega, the director of the “High School Musical” trilogy, were among those joining Chenoweth at the ceremony next to the Pantages Theatre.

“(I) never thought that I would get to come to Hollywood, let alone be where people can walk all over me,” Chenoweth joked. “I’ll take it.”

The ceremony came one week before the premiere of the Disney Channel made-for-television musical “Descendants,” in which Chenoweth portrays “Sleeping Beauty” villain Maleficent. “Descendants” was directed by Ortega.

Chenoweth received the star in the live theatre/performance category. She won the 1999 Tony for best featured actress in a musical for her portrayal of Sally in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.”

Chenoweth also received Tony nominations in 2004 for best actress in a musical for her role as Glinda the Good Witch in “Wicked” and this year for best performance by an actress in a leading role for a musical for her portrayal of glamorous film star Lily Garland in “On the Twentieth Century.”

Chenoweth won the outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series Emmy for her role as waitress Olive Snook on “Pushing Daisies” in 2009, which had also brought her a nomination in 2008.

Chenoweth also received outstanding guest actress in a comedy Emmy nominations in 2010 and 2011 for her recurring role as quirky ex-glee club member April Rhodes on “Glee.”
