MacLaine to receive Lifetime Achievement award

Shirley MacLaine will receive the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award next year.

The 77-year-old actress - who won an Oscar for her leading role in 1983's 'Terms of Endearment' - will be the 40th recipient of the accolade at a gala ceremony in June 2012, and Howard Stringer, chair of the Board of Trustees at the AFI, highlighted her career of making people laugh and cry.
