Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton to present Lily Tomlin with SAG Life Achievement Award

Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton will present the 2017 SAG Life Achievement Award to Lily Tomlin at the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The trio starred in the 1980 feminist revenge comedy "9 to 5," currently listed at number 74 on American Film Institute's ranking of the "100 Funniest American Movies of All Time." The film, which was Parton's first feature role, was a major hit, grossing more than $100 million at the domestic box office.

Fonda and Tomlin are the stars and executive producers of the Netflix comedy series "Grace and Frankie." Tomlin is also up for a SAG Award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series for her role in the show. "Grace and Frankie" returns for its third season in May.
