The Desperate Housewives actress and partner William, who stars in the US version of TV hit Shameless, were awarded the rare honour during a ceremony in Los Angeles.

Felicity – whose co-stars Marcia Cross and Vanessa Williams turned up to show their support – laughed as her husband danced on top of the star and pretended to fall asleep on it.

During their acceptance speech, William – who married Felicity in 1997 – joked: “The first time I saw Felicity she was doing a scene for acting class wearing a silk, cream-coloured blouse with no bra. I thought, ‘Man, this girl is talented’.”

Felicity quipped in return: “The first time I saw Bill, he was wearing an Izod shirt with a tie. I thought ‘Man, is his wife gorgeous’.”

The actress, looking chic in a black shift dress and matching heels, told E! News at the event that she’d be sad to see Desperate Housewives wrap after eight seasons.

“I still get chills when I arrive at the Universal gates,” she confessed. “It may be time, but it’s sad. We’re a family, I love the show.”

好莱坞有句老话说，如果夫妇俩能一起在星光大道留名，他们就永远不会分开。3月8日，《绝望主妇》女星菲丽西提·霍夫曼和《无耻之徒》男星威廉姆·H·梅西夫妇迎来了这一天，一起留名星光大道，分别拥有了属于他们两人的星星。两人显然非常高兴能一同留手印，面对记者的镜头时，梅西显得十分活泼，先是把脸凑在自己的星星上嘟哝个不停，然后又摆出十分婀娜女性化的姿势。

两人的两个女儿Sophie和Georgia都到场见证父母的荣耀时刻。《绝望主妇》女星玛西亚·克劳斯、范妮莎·L·威廉姆斯和《无耻之徒》的卡梅隆·莫纳汉、珊诺拉·汉普顿、贾斯汀·查特文等夫妇俩的同剧演员都有到场支持。
