At the 2025 SAG Awards, Jane Fonda delivered a powerful acceptance speech for the Life Achievement Award, skillfully combining her passion for acting with her longstanding activism. Rather than focusing on her personal career milestones, Fonda stressed the unique role of actors in fostering empathy, stating that their contributions help to touch people's souls. Despite technical difficulties during her speech, Fonda's vibrant energy and engaging presence resonated with the audience, reinforcing her belief that the essence of acting goes beyond entertainment—it serves to connect and empathize with others.
Our job is to understand another human being so profoundly that we can touch their souls.
Your enthusiasm makes this seem, I don't know, less like a late twilight of my life and more like a Go girl, kick ass.
