HOLLYWOOD - Multiple Oscar-winner Francis Ford Coppola picked up a lifetime achievement award on April 26 at a star-studded ceremony, which praised his "fearless" attitude to film-making.
The 86-year-old director of classics including The Godfather (1972 to 1990) and Apocalypse Now (1979) received a trophy from fellow film-making legends Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, who lauded him for fighting the system and redefining American cinema.
Lucas, creator of Star Wars (1977 to 2019), recalled Coppola telling him "don't be afraid of jumping off cliffs", while Spielberg hailed the "fearless" director and said The Godfather was "the greatest American film ever made".
