Julia Louis-Dreyfus received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but her name was misspelt.

Louis-Dreyfus is best known for her work in television shows Seinfeld [ Images ] and The New Adventures of Old Christine.

The star that was set into cement honouring her mistakenly had her name spelled Julia Luis Dreyfus.

'The misspelling was so perfectly apt, a great metaphor for show business. Right when you think you've made it, you get knocked down. It's an ideal metaphor for how this business works,' the Mirror quoted Louis-Dreyfus as saying after the ceremony.
