‘Deeply honoured’

Legendary actress and activist Jane Fonda will be bestowed with the highest honour at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards. SAG-AFTRA announced Oscar-winning actor Jane Fonda, 87, as the 60th recipient of the SAG Life Achievement Award. The award will be given to her at the 31st SAG Awards on February 23, 2025.

She said in a statement that she was ‘deeply honoured and humbled’ by the recognition. “I have been working in this industry for almost the entirety of my life and there’s no honour like the one bestowed on you by your peers,” she said.

“SAG-AFTRA works tirelessly to protect the working actor and to ensure that union members are being treated equitably in all areas, and I am proud to be a member as we continue to work to protect generations of performers to come,” she added.

The SAG Life Achievement Award is given to actors ‘for outstanding achievement in fostering the best ideals of the acting profession’. Barbra Streisand was honoured at the 2024 SAG Awards in February, while Sally Field and Helen Mirren recieved it at the 2023 and 2022 events, respectively.
