Sandra Bullock enshrined in Hollywood history

Sandra Bullock joined the elite company of Hollywood legends on Wednesday as she had her hand and footprints cast in cement in the forecourt of the storied TCL Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.

"I looked back at all the people who have placed their body parts in cement from the very beginning...I just started realizing that every woman whose name I came across was such a pioneer and had to blaze a trail that was really dangerous, wild and wooly," Bullock said.

Accompanying Bullock on her special day was her 3-year-old son, Louis, whom she rarely brings to public events but felt compelled to have him witness such a historic day for her.

"Baby Louis was here, bribed with gummy bears and chocolate," Bullock said after the ceremony. "...I normally don't like him to be in this environment, nor does he care about it, but...this is such a historic thing; it's such a memorable piece of Hollywood. If there's one piece that...I'd like for [him] to be there [it is this]."
