The Women In Film's Crystal Award was established in 1977 to honor outstanding women who, through their endurance and the excellence of their work, helped to expand the role of women in the industry. Since that time it has become one of the most esteemed awards ceremonies in the entertainment industry.

On June 8, 1990, Lee Remick was one of three honorees to be presented the Women In Film Crystal Award during the 14th Women In Film Crystal Awards Luncheon.
