"HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh on Wednesday was honored with a newly unveiled star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "This is beyond insane and surreal," a smiling Yeoh told fans, colleagues and family members who gathered for the late-morning ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard. "I am so psyched." Yeoh's career spans more than four decades, and is known for roles in "Wicked," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Crazy Rich Asians.""
"During her remarks she thanked filmmakers Jon M. Chu and Ang Lee. "Thank you for discovering that I can actually act," Yeoh said, addressing Lee with a chuckle. "I love when you used to turn around to people (and say): 'She's not just an action (person). Stop calling her an action person.' Thank you for that." In 2023, Yeoh won the Academy Award for Actress in a Leading Role for her work in "Everything Everywhere All at Once.""
