It’s about time.
Two time Oscar winner Jane Fonda, 86, will get the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award next February.
Fonda is not only an acting legend, but she’s a lifetime political activist and philanthropist. Her work on Climate Change through her Fire Drill Fridays has brought more attention to the environment than any one personality.
Fonda’s Oscars were for “Klute” and “Coming Home,” although she’s had many other nominations. Her resume also includes an Emmy Award for “The Dollmaker” and nominations for “Grace and Frankie,” Netflix’s longest running series.
She also has two Tony Award nominations and seven Golden Globe awards.
The SAG Award is a real vindication for Fonda who suffered undue criticism for her political activism for decades. But Fonda was a visionary with incredible courage who has always stood up for her beliefs and what is right. She deserves not just the SAG Award, but a Kennedy Center induction as well.
Bravo to one of Hollywood’s few actual heroes!
