Walk of Fame Has Swank New Resident

Posted Jan 8th 2007 2:00PM by TMZ Staff

Mr. Miyagi would be proud.

One time "Karate Kid" turned Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today. The two-time Academy Award winner has definitely come a long way since her role as "Julie Pierce" in "The Next Karate Kid" -- something one fan was quick to note at the ceremony.

Though she'd probably like to forget those days (as well as her turn as a single mom on "Beverly Hills 90210"), Swank was ecstatic about her star. In old-Hollywood style, she even signed photos for fans after the unveiling.

1. This lady is a class act, a true star in the style of old hollywood. I have no doubt that she will win another Oscar in the near future, as talent like her deserves high recognition, particularly by her peers...

4. cheap... they give any idiot a star these days. Why is it that Hilary makes movies lately that are rip offs of other movies? Million Dollar baby was a rip off of "GirlFight" with Michelle Rodriguez and this new one she has is a rip off of "Dangerous Minds"... cheap!

7. Hilary is one of a kind, she takes acting to the next level every time. As for her and Chads break-up, they did love eachother at onetime. I guess actions and impressions will fool ya. I hope they can grow and heal and find true LOVE!!!!
