Michael Douglas to receive lifetime achievement award

Hollywood star Michael Douglas is to be honoured with the American Film Institute (AFI)'s lifetime achievement award next summer - 18 years after his actor father Kirk was presented with the same accolade.

The 'Traffic' star will pick up the prize for his work as a producer at a ceremony in Los Angeles in June - and he is delighted to be following in the footsteps of his father, who received the honour in 1991.
