Receiving the honour, she said, the unveiling of the star was a healing exercise for her. "And the truth is that when I went home that night, I said, 'What am I doing here? Nobody wants me.' I remember the studio saying to me many times, 'Why don't you go back to the telenovelas? You'll never find a job here.' And of course, this night I almost got killed. The one thing that I stayed for was for the love of cinema," she said.

Salma Hayek has bagged a best actress Oscar nomination along with the release of her latest film, 'House of Gucci'.
