The 'Damages' actress accepted the honour at a ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard, where the stars are located, yesterday (12.01.09).
As the 2,378th star of the Walk of Fame was uncovered, Glenn said: "To be considered a star is one thing, but to be embedded in the sidewalk with life passing over us, that for me is the best part of this honour.
"Five-inch heels, flip-flops, Birkenstocks, dropped ice cream cones, the odd tobacco squirt, baby carriages, roller blades, skateboards, wheelchairs - bring it all on!"
Glenn was joined by 10 members of her family, who all made a special trip to Hollywood to help her celebrate.
Her 'Damages' co-star Tate Donovan, 'The Shield' actor Michael Chiklis and friends Jobeth Williams and Mary Kay Place also attended.
Glenn added: "I want to thank all my friends I am just overwhelmed. All my 'Damages' co-stars and my 'Shield' colleagues, to have them come down and to take time out of their day, really means a lot to me."
Wearing a smart black suit and white shirt, Glenn, 61, was so thrilled to receive the honour she posed for pictures lying down on the tribute.
She later joked: "And I can just see it years from this moment. Someone will wander by my star, dust off my name and think 'Glenn Close? Glenn Close? Oh yeah, I remember. He was good."
