Shirley MacLaine will receive the lifetime achievement honour at the

Texas Film Awards

in Austin next month.

The 82-year-old actress will also be inducted to the list of honourees for the 2017 Texas Film Hall of Fame, for her Oscar-winning role in the 1983 comedy film 'Terms of Endearment'.

"Shirley MacLaine is one of the world's most important living actors. It's incredible to think that she's given ground-breaking performances in seven different decades. Her embodiment in both 'Terms of Endearment' and 'The Evening Star' introduced the world to a fearless and determined Texas woman."

"She has left her mark on our regional cinema, and we're honoured to celebrate this legacy at the Texas Film Awards," Austin Film Society artistic director Richard Linklater said.

Kesha says: "I had a couple of experiences with the supernatural. I don't know his name! He was a ghost! I've got a song called 'Supernatural', that song was about having sex with a ghost. It used to keep me at night and wake me up. And it progressed into this dark, sexual spirit."
