American activist Jane Fonda will receive this year's Lumiere Award in
Lyon, France.
The Oscar-winner has been selected for the prize in part for
"her willingness to embody fierce independence from a young age [and] for the
singular personality that has inspired her to choose powerful,
politically-committed female characters," confirmed The Hollywood Reporter.
She is also a two-time Academy Award winner, two-time BAFTA Award winner, and
four-time Golden Globe Award winner.
Festival director Thierry Fremaux will
present the Oscar winner with the prize.
The largest international festival
of classic cinema, the Lumiere Festival will take place from October 13 to
October 21.
