Hanks gets Lincoln Center tribute
The Film Society of Lincoln Center will honor Tom Hanks in a black-tie Gala Tribute at the new Alice Tully Hall on April 27. “There are so few actors who have been able to make the struggle and drama of being a good man compelling,” said Kent Jones.
Hanks becomes the third U.S. born thesp to earn a Tribute, next to Al Pacino (2000) and Dustin Hoffman (2005). The Tributes were begun in 1972, when Charles Chaplin was brought out of exile to the US to receive his award.
