HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Two-time Emmy-winning actress Patricia Heaton received the 2,472nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday.
Both of her television husbands were on hand to help her celebrate the special honor. Actor Ray Romano from the series “Everybody Loves Raymond” and actor Neil Flynn from “The Middle” joined Heaton’s real-life husband, actor David Hunt, for the ceremony.
“It was pretty overwhelming. I didn’t think I would be as moved as I was,” Heaton said.
Romano joked during his speech that two actors from “Everybody Loves Raymond” received stars now, while he has not.
“Before I go on, I just want to ask the committee, you guys have my number right? You know my phone number, I was on the show. I’m Raymond,” Romano said.
Romano called Heaton the best wife in television.
“My character was all so neurotic and weird, and she was the grounding center, the voice of reason,” Romano said. “The show worked because of her. I never told her that then because I wanted the money.”
“Raymond” co-stars Brad Garrett and Doris Roberts were also on hand, as well as one of her sons on “The Middle,” Atticus Shaffer.
Heaton said she never imagined that she would have a star on the Walk of Fame.
“God has been gracious enough to me to open some doors, and by God, I mean, of course, Ray Romano,” Heaton said.
Heaton received seven Emmy nominations for her portrayal of Debra Barone on the 1996-2005 CBS comedy “Everybody Loves Raymond,” winning as best actress in a comedy in 2000 and again in 2001. City News Service contributed to this report.

She is glistening a little too much for that dress ... but she does look Faaaaabuloous.
I’m not sure what Ray sees in her....oh never mind...I’m being a cat!!
Doesn't that pretty much sum up all the "male" characters on TV now?
the only one on that show that had a brain....(and repub)
extremely sexy and smart conservative....
I think the world of her-—not only was she superb on the show, she is and was an outspoken pro-Lifer, one of the few
with high visibility who was not afraid to come out and defend it and good-naturedly argue with anyone on the other side, like she did with Peter Boyle throughout the show’s run.
Love Pat but after the first minutes of listening to Ray blow his own horn, I shut it off , could not take any more of his overblown ego. What an ass to do that when it is all about Patricia.
How did a conservative manage to get a star? Someone screwed up.
Walk-of-Fame Stars are purchased. I’m not sure if there are any qualifications required except money.
this is a good problem to have....
If you are alive you must attend ceremony . You must agree to nomination Only so many awarded per year. You must have 5 years in industry and have $30,000 put up. List of contribution to community.
