Actor and humanitarian Jane Fonda is adding the SAG life achievement award to her many accolades. The 86-year-old will be given the prize at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in February, the guild said Thursday.
Fonda said in a statement that she was "deeply honored and humbled" that she was chosen.
"I have been working in this industry for almost the entirety of my life and there's no honor like the one bestowed on you by your peers," Fonda said.
In her over six decades in the business, Fonda has won two Oscars - for "Klute" and "Coming Home" - two BAFTA Awards, an Emmy and seven Golden Globes. With an activist spirit spanning back to her antiwar protests in the 1960s and 70s, she's also used her platform to advocate for gender equality, civil rights and environmental issues. Last year, Fonda spent her 85th birthday raising 1 million for a non-profit in Georgia aimed at educating school-aged children to make healthy life decisions.
SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher called Fonda a "trailblazer."
