Acclaimed actress, director and producer Robin Wright will receive one of international television’s highest honours, the Crystal Nymph Award, at the upcoming 64th edition of the Monte-Carlo Television Festival.
The Monte-Carlo Television Festival has officially announced that American actress Robin Wright will be recognised for her extraordinary career and lasting impact on the television industry with this year’s Crystal Nymph at the Golden Nymph Awards Closing Ceremony on 17th June at the Grimaldi Forum. Prince Albert II of Monaco is expected to attend the ceremony, adding further prestige to the occasion.
Best known for her performances in the 1987 cult classic The Princess Bride, the multi-award-winning House of Cards and as Kelly Capwell on the daytime soap opera Santa Barbara, Wright has captivated audiences for decades, earning her a Golden Globe and multiple Emmy nominations. Beyond acting, she has carved out a successful career as a director and producer, making her a Hollywood all-rounder.
Laurent Puons, General Director of the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, has praised the star’s contributions to the industry, saying, “Robin Wright is a remarkable actress whose talent, elegance and artistic commitment have deeply impacted the history of television and cinema. We are proud to present her with the Crystal Nymph Award in recognition of her exceptional career and her enduring influence on the audiovisual industry.”
The Crystal Nymph Award, created in 2013, is presented to a television actor or actress “whose career has made an outstanding contribution to the television world” and is a highlight of the Golden Nymph Awards Ceremony. Other past A-list recipients of this exclusive prize include Michael Douglas, Donald Sutherland, Patricia Arquette and Dame Helen Mirren.
“It’s truly a privilege to be recognised with the Crystal Nymph Award,” says Wright. “I’ve had the chance to live an incredible career in television, and I am deeply honoured to receive this distinction. I’m really looking forward to coming to Monte-Carlo in June to share this moment with those who, like me, love and respect the work we do.”
The 2025 Monte-Carlo Television Festival will run from 13th to 17th June. For more information about the event, click here.
