“Kinda have a crush on him.” [x]
Adorable, functional Hollywood couple news? You betcha! William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman are getting the rare double star (all the way!) on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced that the famous pair will join a distinguished few who get to take part in a double ceremony. Macy and Huffman, who have been married since 1997 and have two children, will become the second married couple to be honored with their stars on the same day.
Macy, who currently appears on Shameless, and Huffman, who is wrapping up the final season of Desperate Housewives, have two Oscar nominations, two Emmy wins, and seven Globe nominations between them. The adorable duo, who worked together on the beloved Sports Night, all but stole the Golden Globes earlier this year with their charming little ditty.
The couple will receive their double star on the Walk of Fame on Wednesday, March 7. [x]
“I sometimes get so excited about getting into bed with him that I literally bounce on the bed and kind of squeal. (As I have gotten older, this becomes less endearing and more bizarre. It’s one thing when a 22 year old does it, but when a woman in her late 40s indulges in that behavior, it’s a little Grey Gardens. But I can’t help it.) I get to climb into bed, sleep beside him all night and, here’s the kicker…I GET TO WAKE UP BESIDE HIM.
I love the way he smells, his big, masculine presence, how he can sleep through anything. I love that it is hours and hours together. The house is quiet; our sweet children are safe and asleep. We are together, so close and yet separate. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes he just rolls close to me and I rub his head while I read my own book. Sometimes if the world has been particularly chaotic, or if we have a wonderful book, we’ll read to each other…my husband has a beautiful voice and it’s so comforting to listen as I snuggle under the covers. Going to sleep together is a hidden surprise in the box of marriage that wasn’t announced in the advertising. It’s like eating cake after eating cake. It’s all good and it’s not even fattening.” (x) – Felicity Huffman, on her marriage to William H. Macy
Long time married couple Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy presented Best Actress in a TV Series. Instead of the usual hollow patter, they sang a charming little ditty. Here it is. #BestCoupleAward

BILL: We met in the theater, we both grew up in the theater, we both adore the theater, and we love acting. So, it’s what we share and we do talk about it. She’s such a magnificent woman, she wants nothing but the best for me.
FELICITY: We were part of a theater company that started around 1985. We started doing plays together and we’ve been acting together ever since. In television, in film, in plays. It’s wonderful. It’s a great collaboration. I’m a lucky girl to be with Bill Macy.
Was it love at first sight?
Macy: No. First of all, we didn’t get together for a couple of years. And then we did get together for a while, and then we split up for a while. And then we got back together out here—
Huffman: I had a crush on you at the very beginning, though.
Macy: I had a crush on you, too.HAPPY 14TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! (September 6, 1997)
