Morgan Freeman takes ‘place in history’ with SAG life achievement award
The actor was presented with the gong by Rita Moreno.
Morgan Freeman said he was receiving “a place in history” as he was honoured with a life achievement award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
He was presented with the gong by actress Rita Moreno, who previously received the award from Freeman.
The 80-year-old, accepting the award in a tuxedo and a black baseball cap, was encouraged by Moreno to lift the head wear so the audience could see his face.
“I can’t do that because I don’t know all of your names, so I won’t try.”
But Freeman did thank his family and his business partner, before adding: “This is beyond an honour, this is a place in history.”
He added: “Find it and tell it. Most screenplays you get, they are telling the story and inside the story is truth of being.
