The festival will also bestow honors on artists who have made a significant impact in film this year. Talent will be celebrated at a brunch and ceremony held Nov. 3 at the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Coast.

“I felt the freedom of creative performance and I felt it was a language that was innate to me, that I didn’t know I had,” she says. “And when I say ‘freedom,’ it’s like that place you want to stay in, more than any other place. That’s when I knew I was going to do it professionally. I found my life language then.”

Her career picked up steam as she appeared in films and television, picking up an Academy Award nomination for 1983’s “Cross Creek” and winning her first Emmy Award for “Hill Street Blues.” She was a series regular on “St. Elsewhere” and has worked steadily over the decades, winning three more Emmys, including for “Miss Evers’ Boys,” “The Practice” and “L.A. Law,” a Golden Globe and multiple Screen Actors Guild, NAACP Image and Cable ACE Awards.
