Two-time Academy Award winner Jane Fonda has another accolade coming her way: the 60th SAG Life Achievement Award, SAG-AFTRA’s highest tribute. The Klute and Coming Home Oscar winner be presented the performers union's top honor at the 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, which will stream live on Netflix Sunday, February 23, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET.

The SAG Life Achievement Award is given each year to a performer who has contributed to improving the image of the acting profession and is involved in humanitarian and public service endeavors (as nominated and voted on by members of the SAG-AFTRA National Honors and Tributes Committee).

“I am deeply honored and humbled to be this year's recipient of the SAG Life Achievement Award,” said Jane Fonda in a statement. “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. 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.”

Barbra Streisand received the award at the 2024 SAG Awards in February, while Sally Field and Helen Mirren accepted the honor at the 2023 and 2022 ceremonies, respectively. Other honorees have included Robert De Niro, Alan Alda, Morgan Freeman, Lily Tomlin, Carol Burnett, Debbie Reynolds, Rita Moreno, Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore.

In addition to her two Oscars, Fonda's previous honors include two BAFTA Awards, an Emmy, the 2015 AFI Life Achievement Award, and the 2024 Time magazine Earth Award.
