Reflections With Julie Andrews

and datebooks of days past, and have been watching her movies, in the order in which she filmed them. Watching them makes her “alternately amazed, and then quite sad, and then very delighted and sometimes disgusted,” she said with a laugh.

After ruling Broadway with My Fair Lady and Camelot, dazzling film audiences with Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, and reaching over 100 million television viewers in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, Julie Andrews in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s was, quite literally, the most famous woman in the world. (During the same time period, OJ Simpson was the most famous man -- for his sporting proficiency, not the later, darker reasons).

The word “iconic” is overused. But some people surpass fame and simply become part of our makeup, of who we are. Andrews has never stopped dazzling; whether through her other film and television projects, her live concerts, her best-selling children’s books (coauthored with her daughter and Sag Harbor resident Emma Walton Hamilton), her involvement in humanitarian concerns, or her recent turn as theater director. And now the Hamptons International Film Festival, celebrating its silver anniversary, will award Andrews a Lifetime Achievement Award during its October extravaganza, with a showing of Victor Victoria followed by a Q&A with Alec Baldwin, who recently appeared on “Julie’s Greenroom,” a Netflix series where Andrews encourages children to explore the arts.

But it’s time for reflection on a gorgeous Thursday afternoon, sipping cups of tea at Andrews’s dining table on the East End. Andrews is working on her second autobiography, a sequel to Home: A Memoir of My Early Years. This

“All of the movies were a discipline of learning for me,” she said. “Obviously Poppins was learning about what close-ups mean and what medium shots mean, and discovering the world of cinema and one’s place in it. And there were a lot of special effects, which really taught me the patience of waiting,” Andrews continued. “The difference between doing theater – which is starting at the beginning and finishing at the end – and film – which is holding the entire script in your head and sometimes filming completely out of sequence – is enormous. You just hope that the director and the editor can patch it all together into a brilliant jigsaw puzzle.”

book is about her prime time in Hollywood.

“I don’t sleep very well these days,” she admitted. “I keep pulling in wisps of memories. It’s a long time ago that a lot of this happened, and there’s so much that I want to recall in the right way – separating the true experiences from what have become essentially just stories and

anecdotes.”

At the end of her last book, Andrews hadn’t quite reached Hollywood. “I hadn’t even made a film yet,” she said. “It was such a learning experience. And I want to do justice to the great directors and cinematographers, and what it takes to get it done.” She and Hamilton have been poring over her diaries

After Poppins, Julie jumped into a non-singing role with The Americanization of Emily, written by Paddy Chayefsky. “It’s probably Paddy I mention the most of all [in the upcoming book]. It was his script that was so riveting. I didn’t have to know very much about acting because he wrote the words so well they just fell out of one’s mouth correctly,” she said.

“The Sound of Music was a very tough working experience, and then Hawaii was next, and that was . . .” Andrews trailed off for a moment. “Well, it wasn’t just learning your craft, it was battling the elements, and fatigue, and early hours.”

But honing her film presence was an essential part. “Bob Wise [the director of Sound of Music] taught me about close-ups, where to look. You see, if you try to look into the other person’s eyes during a two-person scene, your eyes will be constantly dashing back and forth, and it doesn’t look right on film. You either have to focus in the middle, or on the camera eye. That was something that Bob gave me.”

George Roy Hill gave her the gift of stillness. “He taught me how to just sit in silence. It’s a great gift for an actor to not be doing anything,

but to be doing it actively,” she said. Andrews worked with James Garner early in her career, in Americanization of Emily, then again in Victor Victoria almost 30 years later. “He was delicious to work with every time,” she said. Referencing her husband, the late Blake Edwards, who directed Victor Victoria, she said, “Blake said to me, ‘Just watch him, Julie. Watch Jimmy. He’s not only a great actor; he’s a great reactor.’ And in that role, it’s pretty much what he has to do...he’s brilliant.” Are there any roles where she wishes she could have a do-over? “The Hitchcock movie,” she said,

referencing Torn Curtain, one of Alfred Hitchcock’s lesser-known ventures into spyhood and political intrigue. “It was a lovely experience. Paul Newman was delightful – he called me ‘the last of the really great broads,’ which was such an honor coming from him,” she laughed. “But to Hitchcock, that particular project didn’t matter that much. So when we would say, ‘Can we do it this way?’ he would say, ‘Sure, do whatever you want.’ He wasn’t invested in that film the way he was in his other work, so I wasn’t really invested either.” But he did teach her about camera lenses. “Don’t ever let them use this lens on you,” Hitchcock told the young actress.

“It will make your nose grow dreadfully.”

Even the filming of Victor Victoria was another difficult period for Julie. Her two younger daughters, Amelia and Jo, were just settling in to a new school, and she was torn between her duties as an actress and a mother. “Motherhood always comes first,” she said, and added, “Working with Emma now is such a great joy. One of the best times I’ve ever had.” And working with Edwards was always a positive experience. The couple made many films together, including Darling Lili, 10, SOB, That’s Life!, and others. “I always felt safe in Blake’s hands as a director. I so admired the way he directed – never gimmicky. He never shot through keyholes, he didn’t like that sort of showing off of the ego. He said that hopefully the most important thing was that you would never think there was a camera there,” she said.

As for the Hamptons Film Festival award, Dame Julie Andrews is “pleased and honored” by the accolades. She and Baldwin are good friends and she’s looking forward to their onstage interview. “He’s another delicious guy,” she said. “And I know he will ask all the right questions. He’s truly interested in film.”

And Andrews is convinced that it is her natural curiosity and interest in things that keeps her grounded and moving forward. “More than anything, it’s been – all of it – such a great learning experience. I wouldn’t have traveled to the places I’ve traveled to, met the people I’ve worked with – I’m glad I have a curious nature anyway, but to learn about Hawaii, or Austria, and to learn about the directors and their differences, it’s just all been fascinating.” “So much of work is learning in the moment, and just hoping you’ll do a great job,” she said. “For me, to stop learning is to stop living. There’s still so much out there,” she said. “I don’t think I would ever be able to stop doing something. I would always have to keep busy, because that’s what I’ve been doing my whole life.” “There’s a lot that I’ve lost,” she said, “but there’s a lot that I’m very pleased and proud of as well.”

And although the first two weekends of the unofficial summer season may not have given us bikini weather just yet, that did not stop beach and party goers from looking their best. The weather may have been drab at times, but the colors of the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suits and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dresses were not.

From casual beachwear to those dressed to the nines in their finest, here we have selected some of the best dressed, as well as those who look simply stylish going about their day. While we may be off to a chilly start to summer, there will be many more bright outfits and weekends in our future. 26

The Man In The Ceiling

By Bridget LeRoy

try too hard to include the entire cast and several possibly powerful moments are muddied by multiple voices.

There’s no question that the musical adaptation of Jules Feiffer’s The Man in the Ceiling, which enjoyed its world premiere opening at Bay Street Theater on Saturday night, will have a life after its Sag Harbor run. There is equally no doubt that Jonah Broscow, the young man who plays Jimmy, the teenage cartoonist, is a star. Every moment he is on stage – which is most of the time – is an absolute delight. The other true stars in this talented production are the puppets, created from Feiffer’s designs by master puppeteer Rick Lyon, which spring from Jimmy’s imagination and appear when he is alone, drawing in his room; and the animated set by designer David Korins, evocative of crumpled pages and illustrations. With the exception of Broscow, the entire cast plays many parts, sitting on prop boxes just offstage, and appearing sometimes as family members, other times as cartoon characters, and coming together as one entity to portray the title character. Jeffrey Seller, who directed the production, uses the Bay Street space to its full advantage, and there isn’t a dull moment in the evening, which goes by at a ferocious clip.

The story follows young Jimmy in his somewhat dysfunctional family – his dad doesn’t approve of his artistic bent and wants him to

Erin Kommor is terrific as Jimmy’s sister, although the relationship doesn’t evolve. And Jimmy’s connection with Beemer (Brett Gray), the bully, fizzles out after a scene where Jimmy sort of stands up to him. So many interesting cans of worms were opened, but then closed too quickly or just left open without a resolution.

in the Ceiling appears to him. Is it God? A new cartoon character Jimmy created? Or a psychotic break?

Lester’s musical-within-a-musical, “You Are The Friend,” was a hilarious interlude well executed by cast and crew, and a high point for Saturday night’s audience. Also the songs “Kidding Around” and “I Do What I Do” had the audience tapping its feet along with the numbers.

But many of the songs seem to

play ball, his mom is constantly on the phone with work, his sister is supportive but loud and needy, and Uncle Lester, the failed composer, lives in the attic and can’t write a love song to save his life.

There’s also Charley Beemer, an athletic bully whom Jimmy idolizes, cajoling Jimmy into writing a comic book – “The Hand of Doom” -- for which Charley will take the credit. And hands are Jimmy’s Achilles heel; he can’t draw them and agonizes over it in private and in the showstopper “Hands.” Even his superhero creations all seem to want something from Jimmy. There is a palpable pressure on the boy when suddenly the Man

This is one of the questions that is raised in The Man in the Ceiling and not really sufficiently answered. Andrew Lippa – the production’s composer and lyricist who also wrote the very catchy Addams Family musical – is adorable as Lester, but why can’t he write a love song? Is it something from his past, or has he just not met the person yet who can bring that song out of him? The parents – well played by Danny Binstock and Nicole Parker -- have a few poignant moments together as well, like in the songs “Disappearing” and “Like Your Son.”

But is The Man in the Ceiling too cartoon-y, or not cartoon-y enough? All in all, the creative triumvirate of Feiffer, Lippa, and Seller have constructed something with enchanting moments and solid bones. It would be nice if it were fleshed out even further, with the more two-dimensional figures fully shaded and colored into cathartic, sympathetic characters that stay indelibly inked on the heart long after the evening is over.

Artist Profile : Martha McAleer

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

Martha McAleer knew she wanted to be an artist from a very young age. “All I’ve ever wanted to be and all I’ve ever been is an artist,” she stated.

McAleer works primarily on canvas with acrylic paint and plaster. She creates paintings that include a great amount of texture and provide a cool color palate. “I want to draw the viewer in for a moment with a curiosity to move in closer to touch the textures to determine what they are seeing,”

said McAleer.

She takes inspiration from Georgia O’Keeffe, with some of her largescale colorful florals. McAleer paints large enough for the work to consume her field of vision. She layers one color, idea, and texture at a time. McAleer is represented by William Ris Gallery in Jamesport and the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor.

Out Of The Question

Toni Ross, Rick Friedman, Eric Fischl, and Vered.

By Jessica Mackin-Cipro

Do artists take market expectations into account when creating their art? Tomorrow at “Out of the Question,” a salon conversation series, artists and experts will discuss just that. Producer and moderator Warren Strugatch will guide a conversation between prominent East End artists Eric Fischl and Toni Ross and the well-known art consultant Rick Friedman and gallerist Vered. The series, now in its fourth season, will be held at the Southampton Arts Center. “Out of the Question” aims to have audience members enjoy a spirited dialogue with some of the East End’s leaders in the fields of arts, business, restaurants, architecture, and real estate.

This week, the topic is art. The group of panelists will impart their wisdom on a subject that is rarely broached publicly: “The Business of Art: Passion or Profit?”

A Catwalk For Canines: Save Animals Domestically And Globally

By Nicole Teitler

Two-legged and four-legged friends alike will be strutting their stuff at Catwalk for Canines this Saturday. Hosted by The Gabby Wild Foundation to benefit the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, an ethical and ecofriendly fashion show will take place from 1 to 4 PM at the Southampton Social Club in Southampton.

Roughly 20 to 25 models will be walking in sustainable, ethically produced clothing designs, with a furry friend up for adoption as their perfect accessory. Two of these models include myself, Nikki on the Daily, and The Independent’s very own associate publisher, Jessica Mackin-Cipro.

hors d’oeurves, a silent auction, and raffle. Money raised from the sale of raffle tickets aids The Gabby Wild Foundation’s conservation efforts. As wildlife faces a constant threat from human activity, the foundation aims to help rainforest reforestation, provide camera trap monitoring systems, and help the critically endangered Sumatran tiger, Sumatran elephant, and Sumatran rhino.

Raffle sales protect the wild side in all of us, while ticket sales directly support local, domestic efforts towards the Southampton Animal Shelter. Sales also help curb euthanasia rates among dogs along with welfare initiatives.

Designers include Daiá; Barbara D’Altoè’s fashion house, Maison Ròde; Marita Wrong; MXN Clothing; and Pelush, and all lines are PETA certified.

Tickets to the benefit can be purchased on the Southampton Animal Shelter website, www. southamptonanimalshelter. com under events. Tickets are $65 each. You can follow more stories from Nicole Teitler on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat as Nikki On The Daily.

Gabby Wild, a frequent social visitor to The Hamptons, decided to do something more meaningful with her time, and a first time collaboration with Southampton Animal Shelter was born.

“Feral cats and dogs spread diseases to the public. Supporting this program in and of itself is so important. We have these best friends that are available for adoption. And who doesn’t like amazing hors d’ouerves, fashion, puppies, and wine? I don’t think there could be a better combination of these things,” Wild commented. Guests can expect more than impressive fashion looks. The event will also include wine tastings,

ARF Designer Show House By Ashley O’Connell

Memorial Day weekend set upon the East End once again, and when it seemed like even a three-day weekend wasn’t long enough, it was a task to choose which soiree to attend. One event that always provides fresh faces of the furry variety is the annual ARF Designer Show House event. Standing for Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, ARF was founded in 1974 to provide care and help find abandoned animals happy homes. A non-profit organization, ARF relies on donations and thrift store sales.

On May 27, the ARF Thrift & Treasure Shop in Sagaponack metamorphosed into a dazzling designer showcase. The quaint old home featured rooms curated by noted interior designers. Combining items sold at the ARF shop, along with a medley of textures and fabrics of their own, the rooms were transformed.

Beautiful relaxed settings made it easy to imagine incorporating the still-for-sale items into your own home, whether it be a micro studio in Manhattan or beach bungalow in Bridgehampton. Styles varied from room to room, from a modern black and white mini chamber by Iris Zonlight to the minimal bedroom with butterfly bedazzled backdrop by McMillan Inc. A nod perhaps to Hamptons history, the fisherman-inspired breakfast nook by designer Richard Keith Langham featured madras print cloth walls. The separate cabin featured two rooms by Rachael Ray Home, including a cozy sitting room

Two Coasts One Ocean

The Surfrider Foundation is searching for volunteers to help out with their annual fundraiser “Two Coasts, One Ocean” on Saturday, July 8, at Navy Beach in Montauk.

in shades of blue that left viewers anything but blue. Blue seemed to be a theme this year, with Cathy Kincaid’s sitting room boasting skycolored prints and solids. The festivities included food and drinks but more notably, setting it apart from other charity events was the ARF van filled with critters just waiting to find a fur-ever home. Whether you have adopted a menagerie of your own or simply admire your friend’s precious pooches, ARF is a notable cause to support.

The Food Lab And Flay

Roman Roth; Ron Tanner, vice president of the Specialty Food Association; along with a number of speakers and panelists from Long Island’s East End.

By Bridget LeRoy

If you are a foodie and don’t know about The Food Lab conference at Stony Brook Southampton this weekend, you really, really should.

Topics for panels on Saturday include: CIY: The Joys of Cooking It Yourself; Unscrambling Nutrition: Fad, Fashion, and Functional Foods; Looking Ahead: Social Responsibility, Food Security, Farming, Fishing and Food Making; and The Future of Restaurants: From Fine Dining to Food Halls and Food Trucks.

This year, The Food Lab will present “Fifty Years of Food in America: 1970-2020.” Food enthusiasts, cooks, celebrity chefs, farmers, and food producers will join Bobby Flay, David Barber, and Michel Nischan along with beer, wine, and spirits makers for two days of entertaining and informative talks and tastings, cocktail parties, and a gala dinner on Saturday night at the Southampton campus. Tickets for the two-day conference, including all meals, start at $150.

The conference gets underway on Friday with a reception for VIPs and key media, preceding an opening cocktail reception at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (SoMAS) field station on Shinnecock Bay. One of two keynote speakers for the conference, TV personality and East End resident Bobby Flay, will discuss his personal view of “Food, Cooking, and a Brief Personal History of Food Television.” The successful chef and restaurateur became one of the first celebrity chef stars of the Food Network, introducing “food as sport” in the original “Iron Chef America” series. An “Iron Chef America” reboot as “Iron Chef Gauntlet” is currently in production. On Saturday, a second keynote speaker, David Barber — of Blue Hill restaurants and the Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture — will speak about future directions in the food world, and opportunities to incorporate new technologies in shaping them. Blue Hill at Stone Barns – a working farm, restaurant, and consulting company supporting agriculture -- was recently named the 11th best restaurant in the world by World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The 138-acre farm in Great Barrington, MA, has been in the Barber family for four 44

The chef for the Saturday night gala dinner will be Cheryl Stair of Art of Eating. Other food for the conference will be prepared by Hamptons Aristocrat, private chef Martine Abitbol, and Bex Waffles specialty food truck.

generations.

Barber is also founding partner of the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in Westchester County. The unique nonprofit advances community and ecologically-based food production in the promotion of alternative ways to farm and eat. Blue Hill (NYC) received the James Beard Outstanding Restaurant Award in 2013. Blue Hill at Stone Barns received the same honor in 2015 and was added to the San Pellegrino World 50 list.

Also on Saturday, you can attend “Changing the World Through Food” with Michel Nischan, a chef and leader in the sustainable food movement, as well as a threetime James Beard Foundation Award winner. Nischan is founder, president, and CEO of Wholesome Wave, co-founder of the Chefs Action Network, and partnered

with the late actor Paul Newman to establish the former Dressing Room Restaurant. He and his Wholesome Wave team were successful at influencing legislative language for the recently passed Federal Farm Bill, supporting affordable access to healthy, locally grown fruits and vegetables for low income consumers.

Other notable guests who will be taking part in Friday and/or Saturday events include: Tanya Steel, former editor in chief at Epicurious.com and founder of the Obama White House Kids Healthy Cooking initiative; Jack Bishop, editor in chief, Cooks Illustrated and host of “America’s Test Kitchen;” author and Julia Child biographer Alex Prud’homme; Nancy Hopkins, editor of Better Homes & Gardens; Matchbook Distilling founder Leslie Merinoff; Wölffer Vineyards winemaker

The Food Lab offers and supports food literacy at all age levels, from collaboration with farmto-school projects as part of its Young Agrarians program, to undergraduate courses in food studies in conjunction with the Stony Brook departments of Nutrition, Sustainability, Marine Sciences, and other interested programs. As convener of conferences and dialogues, The Food Lab also serves to organize discussions around food issues on the East End and for the ecosystem of food studies programs around the world. Also, in partnership with the Amagansett Food Institute and its South Fork Kitchens incubator program, The Food Lab provides small-batch food production space, entrepreneurial training, and technical assistance to food businesses and food-related enterprises, helping to drive economic development on the East End.

Conference tickets are $150, or $75 for students and farmers. Saturday dinner-only tickets are $75, and there are also $2500 Friend of the Food Lab tickets available for the Friday VIP cocktail reception. For more information, visit www. thefoodlab.org, or email Kathleen. Russo@stonybrook.edu.

In a blender cup add 1 shallot, mustard, ground coriander, and the juice from the oranges. While blending these ingredients slowly add the blended oil until you have reach a thick emulsified dressing. At the end you can mix in some salt and pepper to taste as well as the orange zest.
