LOS ANGELES - Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon has been saluted with a star on Hollywood Boulevard.

The "Walk the Line" actress unveiled her Hollywood Walk of Fame honour on Wednesday outside the W Hollywood Hotel. It's the 2,425th star dedicated on the celebrated avenue.

The ceremony was designed to coincide with the Dec. 17 release of Witherspoon's latest movie, "How Do You Know," co-starring Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson, and written and directed by James L. Brooks.

In 2006, Witherspoon won the best-actress Academy Award for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in "Walk the Line."

Her credits also include "Pleasantville," "Cruel Intentions," "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Legally Blonde."
