Thanks to @borkdog on twitter aka Philip Martin to sharing this with us. Arkansas actress Mary Steenburgen gets her star unveiled on the Hollywood walk of fame.

In honor of this occasion Cameras on the Radio will look at some of her most memorable roles over the years:

Julia Moon in Goin South by Jack Nicholson who also stars in the picture.

Lynda Dumar in Melvin and Howard on which Steenburgen received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Karen Buckman in Ron Howard’s dysfunctional family comedy Parenthood.

The vivacious Clara Clayton Doc Brown’s Love interest in the “wild west” third film in the Back to the Future trilogy.

Betty Carver in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.

Gayle in the ensemble drama Casa de los babys.

A very funny Nancy Huff or Will Ferell’s mom in Step Brothers.

And last but not least, my favorite role as herself alongside her husband on Curb your Enthusiasm.
