Dame Angela Lansbury has just been announced as the next recipient of the prestigious Volta Award.

Next year during the Audi Dublin International Film Festival, Dame Lansbury will join the list of previous winners including Al Pacino, Daniel Day Lewis, Kristin Scott Thomas, Martin Sheen and Dame Julie Andrews.

Festival Director Grainne Humphries: "It's a huge delight to welcome Dame Angela Lansbury to Dublin to discuss her life and career on stage and to accept our Festival Tribute Award, the Volta. A legend whose first films were the classics Gaslight and The Picture of Dorian Gray, from the chilling The Manchurian Candidate to Disney favourites Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Beauty and the Beast and Anastasia, Dame Lansbury has created an indelible impression on world cinema.”
