Julie Andrews was awarded the "Golden Lion of Lifetime Achievement" at last year's Venice Film Festival.
Beijing News (Reporter Li Yan) On March 27, actress Julie Andrews, who starred in the classic movies "The Sound of Music" and "Happy People", conveyed a message full of love and hope to fans, encouraging them to be friendly and compassionate with each other during the epidemic.
The legendary actress said in a video interview: "We have done a very good job and strictly followed the rules [in the epidemic]", adding that she, like most people, keeps in touch with family and friends through phone and video calls.
At the same time, Andrews believes that the sense of solidarity during the epidemic reminds her of the emotional resonance she experienced as a little girl in World War II, "We are all resonating with the world, and we all show kindness and beauty between each other... In a way, the pandemic felt like World War II was happening to me again. I know this very well because I experienced it at the time. That sense of unity is so similar. ”
In the 1965 anti-war song and dance film The Sound of Music, Julie Andrews played a self-motivated, positive heroine.
Andrews, 84, also expressed her best wishes to fans, "I send my deepest love to everyone!" Be safe, follow the rules, and be compassionate and kind if you can, I think everyone is. Find ways you can reach out, and that's what I'm trying to do. ”
Andrews will then co-host a podcast show by Netflix with daughter Emma Walton Hamilton.
