Italian actress Sophia Loren will be honoured by the American Film Institute at its annual festival in November.
A special tribute will be paid to the movie icon during an evening celebration on September 12 which will include a screening of her movie Marriage Italian Style.
The 1964 comedy was restored earlier this year to mark its 50th anniversary.
"In a world where the daily obsession seems to be, 'What's next?' Sophia Loren is a rare and welcome reminder that true talent is timeless... It is AFI's honour to shine a proper light on all the gifts she's given the world across the years," said AFI president Bob Gazzale.
The festival runs from November 6 to 13 in Los Angeles.
