Shirley Maclaine was honoured at the Santa Fe Film Festival at the weekend, admitting that the accolade meant more to her than any other award that she has received.
The 73-year-old actress, who lives in New Mexico, was credited for her career achievement and commitment to advancing the role of women in the film industry.
The Oscar-winner told the audience: "Of all the awards I've gotten all over the world - and I have been in this business a long time - this means more to me because I'm being awarded this in a place that I seriously and deeply love."
The Terms of Endearment star added: "With all the chaos out there, I find that returning home is a meditation - it's also a deep perusal of who I still am and still need to be."
