The actress, 74, who has appeared in movies including The Madness of King George and The Last Station, received the honour for her contributions to the film industry.

Helen donned a blue midi dress with a pleated shoulder detail and a polka dot embellishment worth £1,250 by Suzannah London.
The star added height to her frame with a pair of navy heels while she wore her tresses in a cropped style.
Helen looked in good spirits at the event as she discussed her career in front of a packed crowd.
The outing comes after she spoke about speculation that BBC are planning to scrap its licence fee in favour of a Netflix-style subscription service.

Speaking at the Kiln Theatre in Kilburn, North London, Helen told The Daily Mail: ‘I think that the licence fee has had its day. Possibly, I think it is on its way out.’
Last year, Dame Helen joined fellow stars Angela Rippon and Sir Lenny Henry in signing an open letter which called for the reinstatement of free TV licences for all over-75s.
Helen is married to American filmmaker Taylor Hackford who was the director of her 1985 film White Nights. The couple tied the knot in 1997.
The actress has been busy filming the dramatic comedy The Duke with British actor Jim Broadbent.
It’s based on the true story of a British pensioner who, in 1961, was prosecuted for stealing Goya’s Portrait of the Duke of Wellington from London’s National Gallery in 1961.
She’ll be seen next on the big screen, though, in the latest installment of the Fast & Furious franchise, F9, set to open in theatres on May 22.
