Mirren selected for lifetime honor
The Screen Actors Guild has selected Dame Helen Mirren as their 57th Life Achievement Award recipient, the union said Thursday.
The English stage and screen actor, 76, has credits spanning over 50 years and has played everything from a gangster’s girlfriend in “The Long Good Friday” to Queen Elizabeth II in “The Queen.” Mirren will be adding this latest honor to a robust collection of awards including an Oscar, a Tony, and multiple SAG, Emmy and BAFTA Awards.
“I am honored to have been chosen to receive the SAG Life Achievement Award,” Mirren said in a statement. “Since I was a young actor starting out, I have always been inspired by and learned from American screen acting, so this award is particularly meaningful for me.”
With 13 SAG Award nominations and five wins, Mirren is also the most decorated SAG Life Achievement recipient, the union said.
The SAG Awards will air Feb. 27 on TNT and TBS.

We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward.”
The couple began dating in July 2019, but former Fifth Harmony singer Cabello, 24, and Mendes, 23, had been collaborating musically since 2015.

“It was a brutal first week full of tears and pain med depression, ulcers from meds and constant fevers, but my (husband Carey Hart) brought me through,” Pink wrote Wednesday. The two have been married since 2006.
Pink, 42, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, also praised her surgeons, writing she gets to see top doctors due to her husband’s status as a motocross athlete. “I am never not completely grateful,” Pink noted.
Pink said she plans to make a full recovery.
