LOS ANGELES - Halle Berry has an Emmy, a Golden Globe and an Oscar. Now she has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A teary-eyed Berry received the 2,333rd Walk of Fame star in a ceremony Tuesday in front of the Kodak Theatre.

"I am so emotional ... as soon as I saw the crowds of people and friends here, I started to cry," she said.

Berry, a Cleveland native, won the best actress Academy Award in 2001 for her role alongside

Billy Bob Thornton in "Monster's Ball." She won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her title role in "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge."

"This beautiful woman is a triple threat - an old-fashioned bombshell and, like my mom would say, a good egg," said Tom Rothman, chairman and CEO of Fox Filmed Entertainment.

Berry, 40, co-stars with

Bruce Willis in the upcoming film, "Perfect Stranger," which opens April 13.
