In 1965, she took on another leading role in The Sound Of Music which also garnered her an Oscar nomination

The actress appeared in other projects such as Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967), Darling Lili (1970) and Victor/Victoria (1982).
In 2001, she played Queen Clarisse Renaldi in The Princess Diaries, before reprising her role three years later in its sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004).
A third film is currently in development, although it hasn't been confirmed if Andrews will return to the franchise.
Adele Lim, who is set to direct the project, offered an update earlier this month to E! News.
The filmmaker said that The Princess Diaries 3 is 'a movie we all need in our lives right now.'
However, other updates have yet to be shared, and Lim said the script is still in the works.
'We can't lock down a timeline, but we are working very hard on the script right now,' Lim shared.
Andrews' most recent role includes her voicing the character of Lady Whistledown in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton.
Back in 2022, the star revealed to Today that she had yet to meet the other cast members in person.
'You know I've never met the company in person. Of course, I see them on the show sometimes. But I do all my recording far, far away from them.'
Last year, the actress notably won Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance during the 2025 Creative Arts Emmys.
