Keri Russell, a former Mouseketeer who later starred in the coming of age TV drama Felicity and currently plays a Russian spy in The Americans, has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Russell (41) first appeared on television in the 1990s on Disney Channel's All New Mickey Mouse Club, with castmates including Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
Her big break came in 1998 as the star of Felicity, playing the title role of a wide-eyed college student who gets caught up in a romantic triangle.
"What she does so beautifully is become other people and she does it in a way that most actors would only dream of being able to do," film director and Felicity co-creator J.J. Abrams said at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
Matthew Rhys, Russell's real-life partner and co-star in The Americans, was also on hand. The two play KGB officers posing as US citizens in the 1980s.
Russell, whose film credits include Waitress and Mission: Impossible III, said she was fortunate to have a career that allowed her to "see these things I've never seen and meet incredible people and live this wild adventure".
