Actor Warren Beatty honoured for life's work in New York

After more than five decades in Hollywood, Oscar-winning director Warren Beatty was honoured by The Museum of the Moving Image in New York on Wednesday ahead of his first film in 15 years. Beatty, 79, began his acting career on television in the 1950s before graduating to feature films, making his breakthrough in 1967 as lead actor and producer of gangster film "Bonnie and Clyde", widely seen as a milestone in the history of American movies. In his new film, a romantic drama called "Rules Don't Apply" which he also wrote and produced, Beatty portrays billionaire Howard Hughes in his first acting role in 15 years and first direction since comedy drama "Bulworth" in 1998.
