Lots of highs, lots of lows and plenty of perseverance: that's how Jacki Weaver has described her half a century as an actor.
The performer has been named as the 39th recipient of the Raymond Longford Award for her roles in movies over the past 52 years.
"I thought when you got a lifetime achievement award you were about to cark it," the actor joked when the announcement was made in Sydney yesterday.

Weaver's first screen role was the 1966 ABC TV children's sci-fi series Wandjina! and her first film role was in the 1971 movie Stork.
Weaver has spent most of her career on the stage but after a film-role drought, a part in David Michod's international hit Animal Kingdom catapulted her into Hollywood.
She was nominated for an Academy Award for her role as the matriarch of a Melbourne crime family, and she quickly earned another Oscar nomination for her part in Silver Linings Playbook opposite Robert De Niro.
Now, the 66-year-old actor is the toast of Tinseltown.
"Not the girl next door, the granny next door now," she said.
