Surrey-born Dame Julie rose to fame in a Broadway production of My Fair Lady and a made-for-TV adaptation of Cinderella in 1957, viewed by more than 100 million viewers.
Her debut film role was as Mary Poppins which earned her an Academy Award for best actress. She has also won five Golden Globes and a Bafta.
She was made a Dame in 2000 for services to the performing arts.
Her most recent roles saw her lend her vocal talents to animated films like Shrek and Despicable Me.
In 2016, Jennings – who played The Duke of Windsor in the Netflix series The Crown, played Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady at the Sydney Opera House in the 60th anniversary production, directed by Dame Julie.
Tickets go on general sale on Wednesday for the event at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the Southbank Centre’s Autumn 2019 Literature Season and include a hardback copy of Dame Julie’s book.
