Gov. Gavin Newsom revealed the California Hall of Fame‘s Class of 2026 today, and it’s a reunion for the True Lies Class of 1994.

Hollywood icon — and, semi-coincidentally, the Golden State’s 38th governor — Arnold Schwarzenegger will be inducted alongside his action-comedy co-star Jamie Lee Curtis during a ceremony this month. The pair will be enshrined along with seven others including Olympic gold medalists Carl Lewis and Janet Lewis, celebrity chef Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa and Waiting to Exhale author Terry McMillan.

The honor celebrates “trailblazers whose achievements embody California’s spirit of resilience and creativity,” and the new class “also shines a spotlight on Los Angeles as a global hub of culture and innovation,” per The Hall. The new class will be inducted during a ceremony on March 19 at the California Museum in Sacramento.

“From the State Capitol to Los Angeles, from bestselling books to Olympic triumphs, the inductees of the 19th class of the California Hall of Fame have reshaped our culture and our communities,” said Newsom, who made Tuesday’s announcement with First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom. “Resilient and innovative, these leaders and luminaries represent the best of the California spirit.”

Schwarzenegger already was a bodybuilding legend when moved to California from his native Austria during the late 1960s to pursue an acting career. He’d starred in dozens of action and/or comedy films before being elected to succeed the recalled Gray Davis as governor in 2003. As his film career — which ranged from the Conan the Barbarian and Terminator films to Predator, Kindergarten Cop and Batman & Robin — went on hiatus, he was re-elected for a second term that ended in 2011.

Curtis was born in Los Angeles to Hollywood royalty, the daughter of Oscar nominees Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. She began her screen career in 1970s TV and was a regular on ABC’s 1977-78 sitcom Operation Petticoat. Her film career began playing Laurie Strode in John Carpenter’s 1978 slasher classic Halloween, a role she would reprise in multiple sequels. Curtis went on to star in dozens of films including Trading Places, A Fish Called Wanda, Freaky Friday and Knives Out, along with TV’s Anything but Love and Scream Queens before winning a Supporting Actress Oscar for 2022’s Everything Everywhere All at Once.
