The Alliance for Women in Media announces that it will honor Marlo Thomas with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 48th Anniversary Gracie Awards on May 23 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles for her exceptional contributions to the industry. The evening will support AWMF’s educational programs, charitable activities, public service initiatives, and scholarships benefiting women in media and will include a special
performance by Sofia Carson and Diane Warren. Presenters include 2023 Gracie winner Maria Shriver, Jodi Balfour, Camilla Luddington, and Rachel Lindsay among many others. AWMF president Becky Brooks comments, “Marlo Thomas is not only a true icon of the entertainment industry, but a visionary whose work has left a lasting impact on society. Her groundbreaking role as Ann Marie in ‘That Girl’ shattered stereotypes and opened doors for women in television. Furthermore, Marlo’s charitable and activist work with the Ms. Foundation for Women and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has transformed countless lives, making her a beacon of hope and inspiration to us all. She truly exemplifies the ethos of AWMF. We’re proud to honor her with this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award.”
