- Story Text: Julie Andrews said she was "blessed" to have had a long and illustrious career in cinema as she was honoured with a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Film Festival on Monday (September 2).
The Oscar-winning 83-year-old star of "Mary Poppins" and "The Sound of Music" held up and kissed the trophy to an applauding audience.
"I still marvel at the fact that I was the lucky girl who was asked to play those wonderful roles," she said.
The actress' career has encompassed stage and film with performances as the nanny to the Banks children and the wayward novice Maria right through to her more recent projects, such as the voice of Kharaten in 2018 blockbuster "Aquaman".
