Among the attendees was Julie Andrews, the legendary Sound of Music star and close friend of Burnett’s: “She brings out in the best in me and I think I bring out the worst in her, I don’t know why,” Andrews joked on the red carpet, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “It’s the opposite of what you would imagine.”
Andrews recalled meeting Burnett at a Chinese restaurant many years ago: “When we met, no one else got a word in edgewise. We bonded like that and it has never changed,” Burnett said of their “never-ending friendship.”
