Tom Hanks will receive the American Film Institute’s 30th Life Achievement Award on June 12, 2002. Steven Spielberg will present him with the award at the tribute, which will be held in the Kodak Theater – refashioned as a ballroom for the evening – at Hollywood & Highland. The program will air on USA Network on June 24, 2002, at 9:00pm (ET/PT).
Previous Award Recipients include John Ford, James Cagney, Orson Welles, William Wyler, Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, Alfred Hitchcock, James Stewart, Fred Astair, Frank Capra, John Huston, Lillian Gish, Gene Kelly, Billy Wilder, Barbara Stanwyck, Jack Lemmon, Gregory Peck, Sir David Lean, Kirk Douglas, Sidney Poitier, Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Nicholson, Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, Robert Wise, Dustin Hoffman, Harrison Ford, and Barbara Streisand so Mr. Hanks is in good company to say the least.
I think Tom Hanks is one of the most likeable actors in films today so I am looking forward to watching the broadcast.
