Glee's Kristin Chenoweth  is the latest recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The actress and singer became the 2,555th person to be given a spot on the iconic path, which stretches along 15 blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

A theatre veteran before she became a TV star, Chenoweth starred in the role of Glinda in Broadway musical Wicked and later appeared in Glee alongside her co-star, Idina Menzel.

She picked up a prestigious Tony Award for her performance of Sally Brown in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown on Broadway in 1999.

Her television roles have included Annabeth Schott in The West Wing and Olive Snook on the ABC comedy-drama Pushing Daisies, for which she won a 2009 Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

The unveiling of the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame took place on Friday, which was also Chenoweth's 47th birthday.

"I don't think I've ever had a better gift, I never thought I would have a star on the Walk of Fame so for it to happen on my birthday is very special," she said. "This is a memory I will have for as long as I remain on this earth."
