CoverStory By Jay Bobbin For Dame Julie An- drews, June 9 was an evening of getting to enjoy more than a few of her favorite things. The iconic star of "The Sound of Music," "Mary Poppins" and many other projects added a major accolade to her Oscar, two Emmys, three Gram- mys and numerous other honors with — after a two-year delay, due to the coronavirus pandem- ic — her receipt of the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre. Shown earlier on TNT, the ceremony will be presented by Turner Clas - sic Movies on Friday, July 15, in an all-Andrews night that also includes her films "Victor/Victoria" and "The Americanization of Emily." "I've loved watching them," the ever-gracious Andrews says of previous Life Achievement Award specials. "I'm very hon- ored, and I know what it's all about. It's a very im- portant evening for (AFI); all the proceeds go to their education programs, so it's both worthy and won- derful." Those praising Andrews at her AFI celebration included Carol Burnett — her longtime "chum," who presented the award to her — Steve Carell (whose "mother" Andrews voices in animated movies including the new "Min- ions: The Rise of Gru"), Bo Derek (of "10," which Andrews also starred in for her filmmaker husband, Blake Edwards), Hector Elizondo (an Andrews colleague in the "Princess Diaries" movies), self-con- fessed Andrews super-fan Gwen Stefani, and the sur- viving actors who played the von Trapp children to Andrews' Maria in "The Sound of Music." Biographical segments are spaced throughout the special, and Andrews reflects, "It's just stunning to me that (my career has) gone this long, and that I seem to have done so much over the years. I realized, 'Wow, I really did work very hard for a while!' I learned a lot from just watching others and picking up on things." Andrews divides mem- ories of her career among her professional times in London, on Broadway and in Hollywood: "Those were all the learning curves, re- ally ... and how lucky can a girl get, to be given all those opportunities?" While she's keeping busy by writing a third memoir, creating more children's books with daughter Emma Walton Hamilton and voicing Lady Whistledown on the Netflix series "Bridgerton," Andrews is pleased TCM also is showcasing a cou- ple of her movies along with the AFI program.
