Julie Andrews, 91, Seen Running Errands in East End Rain
The Hamptons sighting is the actress's first public appearance since she said in August she is stepping back from on-camera roles.

Julie Andrews was out in the rain in the Hamptons on October 16, running errands on the East End. The 91-year-old wore a light purple raincoat, a white baseball cap and rose-tinted sunglasses, and was photographed getting help out of a passenger seat. It was a gray day and she had no umbrella in hand.
The outing is her first public appearance since she told The Hollywood Reporter in August that she is stepping back from on-camera roles after nearly eight decades of work. She framed the change as a shift in the kind of work she does, not a stopping point. "I'm not completely retired, but it's a different kind of work that I do these days," she said.
Her current work centers on books, and she described her activity in recording: "I do a lot of recording of podcasts and voiceovers." She narrated "Jane Austen Stories" for the Noiser podcast network last year and continues as the voice of Lady Whistledown on Netflix's Bridgerton. She appeared in Bridgerton's related children's puppet series, Julie's Greenroom, in 2017.
Andrews turned 91 weeks before the October 16 sighting. She lives in Sag Harbor, where she moved years ago to be near her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, and the two have co-authored several books together. A feature-length documentary about her is slated to premiere on Disney+ in 2027.
