Hi Sue,
It wasn't the Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award in 1989. That was the Cecil B. Demille Award at the Golden Globes. Here's the video of her receiving the award: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhdtG6CtT0k Doris said the "best is yet to come, I want to do more" in that speech but she never acted again. Our loss.

She did receive the Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award in 1989. Clint Eastwood, her friend and neighbor picked it up for her........she also received the Presidential Freedom Award from George Bush...........she was a gem.......

I love watching her on the screen and even now if TCM is running "Pillow Talk" as a scan the channels I just have to stop and watch it one more time. Two of my favorite Doris moments: of course the bathtub scene with Rock Hudson in "Pillow Talk" and when she really belts out "Que Sera Sera" in "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (the encore performance at the end of the movie). She only received one Academy Award nomination in her career (for "Pillow Talk")..but why no lifetime achievement award from the Academy? Or no Kennedy Center honors? Do you only receive those if you agree to appear at the event? Since she was so notoriously private in her later years, that would explain why. Oh well, que sera sera.
