BERLIN, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Meryl Streep will be presented a lifetime achievement award at the Berlin International Film Festival next month, organizers announced.

"We are delighted to be able to award the Honorary Golden Bear to such a terrific artist and world star. Meryl Streep is a brilliant, versatile performer who moves with ease between dramatic and comedic roles," festival director Dieter Kosslick said in a statement Monday.

The festival is to run from Feb. 9-19.

Streep, who can now be seen in "The Iron Lady," is to receive her Golden Bear at a Feb. 14 ceremony, The Hollywood Reporter said.
