TORONTO: Three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep will be honoured with the inaugural Tribute Actor Award at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
The 44th Toronto International Film Festival runs from June 5 to June 15.
The actress will be honoured at the TIFF Tribute Gala awards event at Fairmont Royal York on September 9.
Announcing this today, TIFF Co-Head Joana Vicente said, “Meryl Streep is undoubtedly one of the most talented and versatile actors of her generation.
“Her tremendous contribution to cinema, television, and the stage spans five decades; from her early roles in The Deer Hunter, Kramer vs. Kramer, and Sophie’s Choice to later films including The Devil Wears Prada, The Iron Lady, and The Post, she has portrayed characters that are as compelling as they are timeless. TIFF could not be more thrilled to honour such a skilled and exemplary artist.”
