According to the AP, comedian Jerry Stiller and wife Anne Meara received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for their long-time contributions to the industry. The couple has been married for over 50 years, and have two famous children - actors Ben Stiller and Amy Stiller.  
  
Jerry Stiller is perhaps best know for his portrayal as Frank Costanza on *Seinfeld*, father to the character played by Jason Alexander, who also attended the ceremony. More recently, Stiller plays a cynical father-in-law on CBS' long-running hit, *King of Queens*.  
  
Meara has been nominated for an Emmy four times, including a lead actress nomination in 1975. Stiller and Meara are only the fourth married couple to receive a joint star, following the likes of Sonny and Cher, Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, and Jim and Marian Jordan.
