Jane Fonda will receive a prize for life at 2025 SAG prices

Jane Fonda gave a powerful speech and came the price of the success of life on 2025 ACTORS GUILD AWARDS Awards.

Fonda, 87, joined the stage on Sunday, February 23, an event that took place in the Sanctuary of the auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles after being presented Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

“Ms.” That means the world to me. I will speak out loud. Thank you SAG -FTRA. And your enthusiasm makes it look like the twilight of my life and more like “go girl kick ass!” Which is good because I am not doing, ”the actress, who dressed her own jewelry Armani and pomello jewelry, began to talk to the roaring applause. “I had a really strange career – completely, not like my agents at that table, they’ll tell you, absolutely non -page.” I retired for several years and then returned to 65 years, which is not common, and then I made one of the most successful films in the 80’s. Have you ever heard the phrase, “Is it okay to be a late blomer if you don’t miss a flower show”? I’m a late flower. This is a floral show. ”

She continued: “I love acting. We open people’s opinion on new ideas, we go beyond what they understand the world, and help them laugh when things are hard, as now. And for a woman like me, who grew up at the age of 40 and 50, when women were not supposed to have opinions and angry, acting gave me a chance to play angry women with opinions – which you know is a little stretching for me. I am a great believer in trade unions. They have their backs, bring us to the community and give us power. The community means strength. And this is really important right now that the power of the worker is attacked and the community is weakened. But the Sag-infra differs from most other trade unions, because we, workers, actors, do not produce anything tangible. What we create is empathy. Our task is to understand other human beings so deeply that we can touch their souls. We know why they do what they do, we know their joy and their pain. ”

The fund then briefly interrupted the announcer over the speakers, to which she replied, “And I can conjure up voices!”

Then she closed her speech by sharing more about what it means to have “empathy” as an actor, and said the crowd: “We have to drill deep, we need to know, for example that as a young girl was sexual abused or incretated. … And I am sure that many of you have played bullying and misogynists and you can largely know that their father bullied them and called them weak, called them losers or pussies. And even if you can hate the behavior of your character, you need to understand and empathize with the traumatized person you play, right? … Don’t make a mistake, empathy is not weak or awakened. And by the way, he just woke up means that you are damn about other people. ”

At the beginning of this month, the fund issued a statement that expresses gratitude for recognition at a prestigious price.

“I am deeply honored and humble that I am this year’s SAG Life Achievement Award,” 9 to 5 Star said in response to this announcement. “Sag-infra is working tirelessly on the protection of a working actor and ensures that trade union members are fairly treated in all areas, and I am proud to be a member when we continue working to protect generations by artists. ”

President SAG-Freen Actors Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) Fr Drand He also dealt with the decision to honor the fund and called her a pioneer of the entertainment industry.

“Jane Fonda is a pioneer and an extraordinary talent – a dynamic power that shaped the landscape of entertainment, defense and culture with a steadfast passion,” Drescher shared in a statement. “We honor Jane not only for her artistic brilliance, but for the deep heritage of activism and the authorization she created.”

The Fund’s career took over six decades, so she deserved her honorary honor and added to her long list of awards, which include two Oscars, Emmy, Seven Golden Globe and two BAFTA Awards. Her talents bridged different media, including television (HBO The Newsroom and Netflix’s Grace and Frankie) and the film (1968 Barbarella, 1969 Shoots horses, right?1978 Home-coming and 80. 9 to 5).

In addition to her artistic achievements, the fund since the 1960s was a loud advocate of social causes such as equality of women and men, environmental justice and civil rights, in 1984 founded the female media center of women.

In 2022 she celebrated her 85th birthday by gaining $ 1 million for her non -profit organization, the Georgia campaign for adolescents and potential that focuses on pregnancy of adolescents and adolescent health.

During an interview for April 2018 with Harvard Business ReviewThe fund opened to continue playing and shared how motherhood turned its career into the non -profit sector. (The actress welcomed her daughter Vanessa with her first husband Roger Vadim and son Troy with a former husband Tom Hayden. Exes also shares the daughter of Mary Luana Williams, who was accepted at the age of 80.)

“I became an actress because I didn’t know what to do!” I was released as a secretary; Lee Strasberg (acting coach) told me I was talented; And I had to earn a living, ”she explained. “That was the way I thought about it: it was a job.” It was not up to 30 years of age. There was a lot of work in the world and I was pregnant, which makes a woman like a sponge, very open to what is happening around her. It was probably at the time when I began to realize that I wanted to change my life and participate in an attempt to end the war. I lived in France, I was married to Roger Vadim, I had a young daughter and left it all and went to America to become an activist. ”
