Jessica Chastain Immortalized at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatre

HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA.COM) — Actress Jessica Chastain was immortalized Thursday by sinking her hands and feet into cement outside the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

The ceremony came eight days before the premiere of her latest film, "Miss Sloane" at AFI Fest. It will be released on Nov. 25.

The two-time Oscar nominee said it was a "wonderful surprise" to hear that she would be receiving the same honor legends like Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Bette Davis got.

"It's really, it's unimaginable," she said.

Chastain was born on March 24, 1977 near Sonoma and raised in Sacramento.

She guest starred in such television series as "ER," "Veronica Mars" and "Law & Order: Trial by Jury" from 2004-2010.

The star made her film debut in 2008 as the title character in "Jolene," an adaptation of E.L. Doctorow's short story, "Jolene: A Life."

She had her breakout year in 2011, when she had six films released, including "The Help," which brought her a best supporting actress Oscar nomination.

Chastain also received a best actress Oscar nomination in 2013 for her portrayal of a CIA analyst in "Zero Dark Thirty."
