Jane Fonda isn't even close to done fighting for what she believes in—and at the 2025 SAG Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night, while accepting a lifetime achievement award, she urged Hollywood, and viewers everywhere, to fight right alongside her. Introduced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who joked that Fonda makes everyone else look bad thanks to both her towering achievements in acting and her longtime political activism—most recently, the Oscar winner was arrested five times in October 2019 for environmental protests at the U.S. Capitol—the 87-year-old Fonda received a standing ovation as she made her way to the stage. "What we, actors, create is empathy," Fonda said. "Our job is to understand another human being so profoundly that we can touch their souls. And make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke. By the way: woke just means you give a damn about other people." Fonda also urged her fellow actors not only to extend empathy to like-minded pe...

As the city and state still scramble to initiate rebuilding, grassroots relief efforts founded in the entertainment industry have started to take shape. Initially, the leading Hollywood studios and corporations made multimillion-dollar donations to fire relief, but it's the smaller efforts that are beginning to produce on-the-ground benefits. Organizations like The CoPilot Project are connecting fire survivors with practical resources to rebuild their lives; Zibby's Bookshop in Santa Monica provided personalized shopping experiences for affected residents; and one caterer started Hero Drops to feed first responders. The entertainment industry hadn't fully recovered ...
