Actor Warren Beatty will receive a lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globe Awards, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced Thursday.

Beatty, who first garnered widespread acclaim for 1967's Bonnie and Clyde, will be honoured with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the ceremony on Jan. 15.
Bonnie and Clyde received 10 Oscar nominations and launched the charismatic Beatty as a star and producer.

The 69-year-old actor, director and producer did the bulk of his great work in the 1970s, starring in films such McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait.

In 1981, he received a best director Oscar for Reds. He is the only actor to receive an Oscar nomination for actor, director, producer and writer for the same film, a feat he accomplished with Reds and Heaven Can Wait.

The actor had less success after Reds, producing and starring in the high-profile flop Ishtar and the less successful Bugsy and Love Affair, both with actress Annette Bening, whom he married in 1992. But 1998's Bulworth, which featured the actor as a politician who undergoes a radical hip-hop makeover, was a critical and commercial success.
