VARIETY ICON AWARD

Judith Light

« I am profoundly honored to receive the Variety Icon Award as Variety has been a powerful support to me for so many years. More than four decades into my career, I am so still so grateful to participate in telling stories that I deeply value and work with the brilliant teams who create them. I dedicate this award to all of the characters that I have played, the women they represent and to the people who have taken these characters into their hearts.  I am always humbled to hear that these characters have ccompanied individuals through various times in their lives and have entertained, educated, uplifted or empowered the viewers in some way. This Variety Icon Award will forever have a special place in my own heart. I am honored and inspired to continue playing characters that change the dialogue around various issues, transform the way we relate to each other and unite us all as one family  through the powerful art of television. »
