Veteran actress Jane Fonda will receive this years Lumiere Award at the 10th Lumiere Festival in Lyon, France.
Describing the Oscar-winning actress, festival director Thierry Fremaux said Fonda is "a feminist, activist, and she remains a star", reports variety.com.
The festival said it was honouring Fonda for an "acting career that has led her from (directors) Sydney Pollack to Arthur Penn, from Rene Clement to Roger Vadim; for her willingness to embody fierce independence from a young age".
Fonda said: "I am honoured to be invited to the Lumiere Festival in Lyon."
The actress follows Lumiere Award winners such as filmmaker Wong Kar-wai, actress Catherine Deneuve, filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino.
