Teen solves centuries-old math problem
PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Film star Michael Douglas will be given the Icon Award at next month's Palm Springs International Film Festival in California, organizers said Monday.
A tribute to the "Wall Street" and "Basic Instinct" actor is planned for Jan. 13, The Hollywood Reporter said.
The Icon Award is described as intended to honor "a creative talent who, through the course of his or her career, has created a body of work which symbolizes the highest level of achievement in the motion picture art form."
"We're thrilled to have the opportunity to honor Michael Douglas at a time when both his creative prowess and his contributions to world cinema have never been more evident -- or more deserving of celebration," The Hollywood Reporter quoted festival director Darryl Macdonald as saying. "Simply put, he's an American treasure."
Douglas, 66, has been undergoing treatment for throat cancer in recent months.
