Samuel L. Jackson is set to be honored at the Museum of Modern Art's 16th annual film benefit presented by Chanel on Wednesday, Oct. 23 in New York City. "Samuel L. Jackson has become a landmark cultural figure thanks to his early film work with Spike Lee, which transfixed both audiences and critics, and his biblically powerful turn as the wise and merciless assassin Jules in Pulp Fiction (1994)," Rajendra Roy, MoMA's Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film, said in a press release. Chanel has sponsored the benefit since 2011, and previous honorees include Guillermo del Toro, Penélope Cruz, George Clooney, Laura Dern, Martin Scorsese, Julianne Moore, Tom Hanks, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Quentin Tarantino, and more.
