Samuel L. Jackson Honored
- Samuel L. Jackson was honored with a lifetime achievement award by the American Cinematheque on December 2, 2008. During the ceremony, Jackson credited his wife, LaTanya Richardson, for inadvertently inspiring him to stay in the business when she called him a "bloodless actor". After Richardson clarified, "... because you know how to say the lines the right way and you know the right facial expressions, but there's no emotion behind it" Jackson agreed that her comments pushed him to improve his performances.CNN: Samuel L.
