De Niro

Robert De Niro will also make an appearance at the festival to receive an honorary Palme d'Or, while Tom Cruise's final instalment of Mission: Impossible will also be shown.

In 1995, Kilmer delivered a memorable and chilling performance in Michael Mann's Heat, as the right-hand man of a criminal played by Robert De Niro.

That same year, he earned praise as Robert De Niro’s henchman in Michael Mann’s crime drama “Heat.”

There’s a catch, a gimmick even, as De Niro stars opposite himself, playing both Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, two notorious real-life Italian American mafiosi who have inspired many movies and documentaries.

Fonda joins a distinguished group of actors who have received the award, including Barbra Streisand, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Carol Burnett.
