LOS ANGELES: Dame Julie Andrews will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award when the Screen Actors Guild hands out its annual honours next year, the acting body said on Monday.
 
The 70-year-old British star of musical classics such as Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music will be given the award on January 28 in recognition of an entertainment career that has spanned six decades.   
 
Andrews won a best actress Oscar in 1964 for her role as the flying nanny in Mary Poppins but is best known for playing Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music.
 
She rose to prominence after a dazzling performance as Eliza Doolittle in the original stage production of My Fair Lady.
 
Andrews has been nominated for Oscars on three occasions, but missed out for The Sound of Music and 1982's Victor/Victoria, a movie directed by her husband Blake Edwards.
 
More recently Andrews has appeared in The Princess Diaries and turned in a memorable cameo by providing the voice of the Queen in Shrek 2.
 
The Screen Actors Guild is the Hollywood actors' labor union.
