The Monte-Carlo Television Festival is set to pay tribute to Morgan Freeman, Bridgerton's Simone Ashley, and a distinguished French actor-director.
Morgan Freeman will be presented with the esteemed Crystal Nymph Award for his outstanding television career at this year's festival in Monaco. The honor will be bestowed upon him during the opening ceremony by Prince Albert II of Monaco, acknowledging Freeman's remarkable contributions to the medium.
Variety's report reveals that the festival will commence with the world premiere of "The Gray House," attended by executive producers Morgan, Leslie Greif, and Lori McCreary, as well as actors Mary-Louise Parker, Daisy Head, Amethyst Davis, and Ben Vereen.
In addition to Freeman's recognition, French actor and director Olivier Marchal will be bestowed with the Honorary Golden Nymph for his significant impact on the entertainment industry at the festival's closing ceremony.
Furthermore, Simone Ashley, celebrated for her portrayal of Kate Sharma in Bridgerton's second season, will receive Monte-Carlo’s International Golden Nymph for Most Promising Talent.
For those unfamiliar with Freeman's extensive television career, it dates back to the early 1970s, marked by four Primetime Emmy nominations and notable roles in series like Solos, The Kominsky Method, and Special Ops: Lioness.
Mark your calendars for the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, taking place from June 14 to 18 in Monaco, promising a celebration of television excellence and talent.
