There will be a reunion of sorts later this month when comedian/actress Lily Tomlin receives the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award.

Tomlin will be presented with the honor by Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton, reuniting the trio of actresses who made the 1980 comedy “9 to 5” one of the most popular films of its generation, the guild announced Tuesday.

The movie marked the first major film role for Parton, who was already a major star as a musician and had made countless television appearances. Parton also wrote the title song for the film.

Tomlin and Fonda were already established stars before the film, which is included on the American Film Institute’s list of 100 Funniest Movies of All Time. The duo currently star in the Netflix series “Grace and Frankie.”

The SAG Awards ceremony is scheduled for Jan. 29.
