Lee, Rowlands, Reynolds to receive honorary Academy Awards
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Thursday that the filmmaker and two actresses will receive honorary Academy Awards Nov. 14 at its annual Governors Awards ceremony in Hollywood.
Reynolds, a best actress Oscar nominee for 1964's "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," is being recognized for more than 50 years of work promoting awareness and treatment of mental health issues.
"What is also special about her is with all of her fame through stage and television and certainly as a film actress, how much of her time she has put forth to better other people's lives," Isaacs said.
