On Thursday morning, Viola Davis received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, making her the first to receive that honor in the year 2017.

Davis’ star is the 2,596th star to be awarded, and it was clear that Davis was filled with the emotion of the moment as she stepped up to the mic following some remarks from Meryl Streep, saying, “My life is good, thank you so much.”

In addition to Streep, Davis’ daughter, Genesis Tennon, was in attendance to see her mother honored.
