Kerry Washington makes her father 'really special' dream come true

Kerry Washington fulfilled her father's dream by receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In a candid conversation with People magazine, the Scandal alum said, "It was kind of a bucket list achievement for my dad."

“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,” Kerry told the outlet.

On December 2, the 47-year-old actress received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her television achievements.

During her acceptance speech, the UnPrisoned alum reflected on her family's journey from Jamaica to Hollywood. 

"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 Kerry.

She 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 star.

The Little Man actress 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,” added Kerry.
