She’s just so unbelievably pleasant and charming. Her voice sounds like honey.
She created utter magic for my heart in The Sound of Music as Maria I got the good feels actor bug of wanting to see films that provided this magic
I know what you mean. When Julie was younger, she had such a clear, eloquent ladylike voice! She's always so polite in interviews, but sometimes she joins in with the banter :-)
@@simonramsay6080 yah in the late 90s, she roughed up her style of delivery LOL.
did u know she could sing too?
I have friends and acquaintances who have worked with her. They all say the same thing. The best to work with! Lovely and a true professional.
The Sound of Music kids said she talked to them, sang and played with and comforted them throughout the shoot. She was a star at the time yet no snobbery whatsoever. She is beautiful inside and out.
I never heard that but I'm not surprised at all
Heard of this from the SOM kids during an interview. Amazing how she’s never talked about as nothing but nice, endearing & nurturing
Actually, she said in this interview that may Poppins hasn't come out when she had filmed sounds of music. So, I think that must mean she wasn't a star yet.
It was her first movie, so she wasn't a star.
U mean then kids now oldies 😭
About a minute into Julie Andrews being on stage I realized I was smiling like an idiot. Hahaha! She's just so great!
UstedTubo187--Sandly, Julie Andrews no longer is able to sing. www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/03/19/how-julie-andrewss-voice-was-stolen-by-a-medical-disaster/
You’re not alone.... she’s captivating , she’s got that special aura about her . She’s Julie Andrews
@@onemercilessming1342 wow, so sad - did you listen to the video the Post provided from when she was 12 years old singing Je Suis Titania? She was amazing!!! ruclips.net/video/iV2-YGGn0y4/видео.html
I instantly became a fan in 1973 when I saw The Sound of Music for the first time. I could listen to her talk all day!
Me too!
Julie Andrews: Practically Perfect in Every Way
vazquezb2011 Thumbs-Up #157 I am Sunday late afternoon 26 April 2020, and I DO consider her Practically Perfect, in Every Way. My humble preference is longer hair.
perfect comment :)
wydm practically.... u mean PERFECT
@@hii-lv9ni it's a reference to mary poppins, in the movie she said "Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way"
Report this comment as indubitable!
She will always be the one and only Mary Poppins. You can redo it as much as you like, but they will never be Julie Andrews.
Autumn D I am the same. I have not yet seen the continuation story with Emily Blunt.
Stars had to be talented in those days. These days one looks and sounds much like another as do the movies.
It was utterly delightful. Seriously.
But emily is great too also u cannot compare her to Julie that are different 🙄
@@fredlast4547 that is due to competition but they also are talented otherwise none of those movies will do well 🙄
What a sweet interview! She sure is a beautiful woman who has made the world better by her being here.
I love the fact when Rex Harrison won his Academy Award for Best Actor in 1965 he thanked in his acceptance speech "his two fair ladies": Julie Andrews who played Eliza Doolittle in the play and Audrey Hepburn who played Eliza in the movie version
I'm glad Rex Harrison was gracious to thank his two leading ladies of "My Fair Lady."
@@melianna999 - Mrs Patrick Campbell? Or do you mean Wendy Hiller? :)
@@chrisnorton4382 Tricky questions.
You know better Chris.🙂
I read he was horrible to Audrey Hepburn
@@califdad4 actually Harrison and Audrey were good friends in real life. Audrey even translated some of his interviews to French while promoting the movie. But indeed, Rex Harrison was very serious and cold
It makes sense that she and Carol Burnett are best friends...both are the very tops of their entertainment genre...and both are very compassionate, sincere, and kind people.
These clips are absolutely amazing. Every time one is posted I click immediately. Wonderful stuff. :-)
I started yesterday with Bobby Fischer and cannot stop. ! Kirk Douglas, Don Rickles, Janis Joplin, Grace Slick etc. I'm on a roll !!!
HOLY WOW! she is gorgeous.
Shams She is also a class act. Couldn’t you phrase your admiration in more appropriate terms?
maybe to u cause u are so average looking?
@@carlofantiga5058 Idiot!
Absolutely sexy!
I know right! She's stunning!
You can learn so much history by watching these videos
Oh Lord, my youth is history now 😉
"You can learn so much history by watching these videos"
My Fair Lady, read Mayfair Lady, read 17 Bruton Street, read 5 Bruton Street. Get it?
@@nossasenhoradoo871 uh, no.
@@tmac8892
"uh, no"
!7 Bruton Street (Mayfair). Who was stated to have been born there? Mayfair Lady, otherwise known as Mrs Sanderson! .
It’s a history lesson for us film nerds lol
She was just magical.
Was?
@@notinuse3966 she is
One in a million person.
She is mate, she is

She looks almost the same now. She's aged better than anyone I've ever seen.
She has the sweetest, most comforting voice in the world.
My wife and I were on a flight from Vienna a few years back and she was sitting in front of us. A fan came up to her and asked for an autograph and she couldn't have been more gracious.
Madmanmarque that's wonderful to know! :-)
I have heard that quite a few times, she is the opposite of rude, snooty .... a lovely woman inside and out.
@@patricias5122 Like Princess Diana
Madmanmarque .....thank you for sharing that. You hear so many stories of celebrities being off handed and rude to their fans, but I’ve always imagined Julie to be a polite, generous, decent person. I’m so glad that my hopes have not been dashed.
@@jimmye5700 Classy
She’s class and grace embodied and manifested in human form ❤️
I am 67. She is the only actor or actress that I ever wrote a fan letter to. And I was in my 40s. Her assistant replied. I still have the letter......
she had ..u have not!@
CARLO FANTIGA pardon me?
@@gonfalon Oh wow! That‘s really sweet! I also wrote a letter to her but it was the same case with me, her assistant replied. I informed myself online and it turned out that she isn‘t the biggest fan of giving autographs to her fans.
No big faff, no humiliating games, just talking and enjoying each other's company. Wish they made shows this way today.
Alas, "We can't have nice things" !
To you have shows like this these days requires two things: a smart interviewer and a smart audience.
The former exist - Tom Snyder, Craig Ferguson, Steven Colbert have all asked Interesting, serious questions.
The latter - A receptive audience that wants to be Educated instead of entertained …That is harder to find!
I was lucky to see Julie Andrews as Eliza on B'way! She was fabulous!
Sheesh that’s incredible
Sure that must've been great!
My wife as a very young girl was taken to see the original Drury Lane production early on in its run, and was totally blown away by it. She now knew what she wanted to be. She has been an actress in one form or another for the whole of her life, and despite having lived in South Africa for many years, people still remark on her manner and perfect accent as being just like Julie Andrews! One of the greatest compliments one could pay her.
She is so humble. U can’t teach this type of humility
Charming and effortlessly alluring. So regal and with such poise and elegance.
Is there anyone that doesn’t like Julie Andrews??? She’s positively perfect!
Yes, those not brainwashed by pop culture's tinsel hype.
HER ACCENT. Oh so calming, it's hypnotizing.
Her diction is perfect. I swear I could listen to her sing the phone book.
@@zapkvr Unlike many so called singers today where you can't understand a word.
It’s a perfect English Accent , she hasn’t lost it after all these years since she has lived in the states
@@tur74d56 This was 1971, so almost fifty years ago. Now she doesn't sound as clear and crisp as she did then.
I’ll say not to correct anyone, her English so proper and melodic is one of the best one can hear these days.
She is a unique beautiful and charming talent, with such an amazing career of accomplishments
She’s gorgeous, and that voice. In recent years I was in an upscale clothing store and I heard that voice and I was like 👀 WHERE IS SHE⁉️
What an endearing, enchanting woman!
this woman is absolutely luminescent,,, such a natural and artless beauty.
Miss Julie Andrews such an ICON and a LEGEND.
That woman has class radiating from every inch of her body - a goddess.
She has the kind of class that's missing from most of Hollywood these days. An incredible woman.
June Asiimwe,
Exactly.
Everyone says how beyoncé is their queen this wonderful lady is mine she is sweet down to earth seems to care for others beautiful very poised and a classy gal
Edward Casteen Beyoncé isn't qualified to lick her boots. Take away Beyoncés fake hair extensions, fans making fake breeze to blow it back, and tight crotch exposing outfits, Beyoncé is nothing.
Beyonce hahaha.
Anna Melanie She’s also an incredible vocalist, a hardworking professional, a dancer and a businesswoman...
Oliver Anderson Overrated. Sorry, ain't drinking the kool aid. Julie Andrews didn't need to prance around in tight crotch fitting costumes. Julie's supreme talent, class and discipline makes her truly great.
@@annamelanie5151 please stop comparing Beyonce to Julie Andrews. Different generations, different styles and most of all different types of artists. Both are talented in their own way.
I consider Julie Andrews one of the most beautiful women of all time. She just doesn't get enough credit for it because the roles she played were very conservative and didn't exploit her sex appeal. Had she been cast in My Fair Lady, things might have been different.
Julie Andrews talking about Filene's Basement. My life is complete.
Although she had never made a movie before Poppins, she had a major role in what is considered the first ever TV movie, High Tor, way back in 1956 even before My Fair Lady opened. Followed by Cinderella watched by over 100 million people in 1957. Presumably Hollywood moguls never watched TV.
Loved her in "Mary Poppins" and "The Sound Of Music"
"Victor/Victoria"
"Thoroughly Modern Millie"
I adore Julie Andrews! I grew up learning how to sing with her albums.
Me too!!
Including her singing Eliza!
Any man who claims taste and discernment and is not in love with Julie has no class.
One of those men might just be her co-star in the movie Sound of Music: Christopher Plummer. I heard he said "acting with her was like being hit in the head with a valentine card." He found her to be too annoyingly sweet. I can only hope he was joking but even so - what an obnoxious thing to say.
From their recent appearances together, Chris has mended his ways and realised what a fool he was when younger. Some men take a long time to mature. Some never do. Another noted drunk Richard Harris never did and loathed Julie. Even then Julie was charitable enough when she mentioned him in her latest memoir.
@@chrisnorton4382 it depends men those days were tougher and didnt fall for women easily based on their looks it would take long time to impress a man no matter how pretty u were even the men were real jocks 😕
@@ElizaDolittle theres a reason why he particularly said Valentines in his statement. In recent interviews before he passed, and in a joint interview with Julie herself , he confessed that he developed romantic feelings for her and declared “ we should have had an affair .” And that she was the only delightful thing about the shoot. Julie was married, and from what I remember; her marriage was kinda rocky at that point, but she had brought her child on location, thus preventing any actual potential love affair. I think this truly annoyed Plummer and I can understand why. How miserable can making a
Movie on location in another country and falling for the heavenly Julie Andrews , and not being able to act upon it?
She's so perfect! When she said the wrong thing and Cavett corrected her, I couldn't help but think that would never make it to air today - everything is so much more planned and manicured right down to the interview.
Geez, Dick, casting Audrey Hepburn for My Fair Lady was hardly a "mistake"!
That said, I wish there was an alternate universe where I could see Julie Andrews in the part.
No raunchy sex talk, no use of the F-word, just grace and class personified.
Actually, in real life she swore like a sailor. The kids from Marry Poppins confirmed it.
Good god, why does every vintage video always have to be followed by hateful comments from miserable sad sacks like you, old man?
She's the kind of woman you want to hear do both of those things though, right?
@@mccarthyken Fair enough, but even Julie herself has confirmed she swears a lot.
@@itsjemmabond she was no doubt referring only to wholesome expletives like "drat" and "zounds"
I have read her memoir. Highly recommended. She had a tough and amazing childhood and incredible formation as a singer and actress.
Julie Andrews always looked the same even back then
she looks very stiff in the face now after too many face lifts!!!!!
sweet Jesus. what happened America? intelligent chat & insights instead of low brow humour and plug my book etc that chat shows are today.
Hoony boo boo, the Kardashians, duck dynasty, reality tv and tRump happened. 😱😝
Rowland,my thoughts exactly
The dumbing down of America. If there is any doubt, replay Trump's July 4 address where not only did he confuse the Revolutionary War with the War of 1812 but he glorified the taking of airports during the Revolutionary War. If that is what is in the White House what hope is there?
To chilly. Feels weird liking your post as I in deed dont like anyone on it! Lol
Roland Lawrence please does anyone know?
So gracious, so charming, so gorgeous. I fell in love with her in '64 when I was 6. I chose well.
Oh yes indeed! My parents took me to see her in Camelot. I can barely remember the experience but I was mesmerized with her from that day onward. As great as she was in Mary Poppins, I think the world will always love her from the opening sequence of the Sound of Music. Your words are perfect...so gracious, so charming, so gorgeous!
petemd3 And many who saw her in London’s West End & Broadway. I regret she left the stage exclusively for films.
Julie Andrews is absolutely terrific. But so tired of the "My Fair Lady" issue. Audrey Hepburn was unforgettable in the role (even though Miss Nixon did the singing.) Even now, I can't imagine anyone but Audrey in that film.role. Julie Andrews was great - on stage.
I have had a major crush on Julie Andrews my entire life. She is effortlessly charming.
Sure, but she's also very mumsy. No matter who she's speaking to, she treats them as little children.
I wouldn't be surprised if she asked her husband if he'd cleaned behind his ears before making love...
teppo - Her manner may be partly down to her family upbringing. She was the oldest child (and the only girl) in the family with several younger brothers. I think girls in that situation tend to act as secondary mothers and are used to bossing their irritating siblings around :)
I have watched a lot of her interviews and she always seems patient and polite, even when asked the same old questions again and again by unimaginative interviewers. Not only a supremely talented lady but one who seems genuinely 'nice' (and that is not a dismissive label).
And Mr. Cavett less so...
how would you feel if it turned out she was a he
she reminds me of princess Diana
These are fun interviews, I'm glad they're getting posted. Please post the whole interview, though!
Are we sure she's not actually the Queen of Genovia? I mean, she sure acts like royalty.... 🤷♀️🤗❤
The Queen of Genovia is not a real person but rather a fictitious character in a film entitled "The Princess Diaries." Therefore, she is not actually the Queen of Genovia.
Be nice to have shows like this nowadays. A mature conversation.
cynicism ends with you
I also remember her in Victor Victoria where she co-starred with James Gardner a very unique film I'll have to rent it out again thank you Julie Andrews for your talent and your graciousness and by the way I love Carol Burnett to just the way you do
Janine Farris I saw her in Victor Victoria on Broadway. V impressive, as always.
😉😉
Not unique - it was actually the 6th filmed version of that story.
Her Soprano singing in Sound of Music alone;was a Master-class performance
He certainly bumbled through that interview. He was obviously awestruck by her enormous presence and talent.
He bumbles through all of them... he's kinda terrible most times. lol
@@nealfiggy Ha ha. That's funny. Not true, but funny.
@@nealfiggy I politely disagree. I think he is a wonderful interviewer. Do you truly think that?
@@masonwillis708 I can see how people would view his style as bumbling. It's so conversational that it allows for searching for the right word, or whatever. Here, though, I would have thought he'd have a little more class in his pressing her on the My Fair Lady issue. He was supposed to be savvy enough to know how things work in show business and his saying, "I never understood that" seemed false.
I thought he felt awkward. Off centre. Nervous. Which for the host of his own tv show seemed strange to me,
JA is a darling & the best voice & musical comedy star both sides of the Atlantic. Thanks so much for this lovely interview w this scrumptious lady. I would like to add that she is at her sexiest when clean, basically virtuous, v sweet & generous. That is, who she is. She had a “pure image” because she has a certain purity whether she likes to admit it or not. If you watch this interview carefully, this comes across v strongly.
Dame Julie Andrews and Richard Burton(CBE) Should have made Camelot as a movie...
I understood that she was offered the part but refused it.
As much as I love Julie Andrews, I cannot imagine the movie My Fair Lady without Audrey Hepburn. I only wish they hadn’t dubbed her voice. The crew liked her rendition. The director should have done one or the other! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
I agree. But in those days they were looking for "perfection" in actresses/actors' voices, not the raw and human-flawed but talented singers/actresses as Audrey. I heard Audrey's tapes and I really liked it: I am actually apposed to perfect singers in movie-musicals--I hate it actually, because their act fails.
Unfortunately Audrey Hepburn would never have been able to pull off "I could have danced..." Her voice might have been ok for "wouldn´t It Be Loverly" but that´s it. Sorry ...
She is such an amazing human...I've adored her since I first saw Mary Poppins when I was 11 (in '79). I was lucky enough to see the film at a festival in 1990 and she was there. She was so sweet and gracious, just as you would expect. I've met a lot of famous people and am not usually starstruck...but I could barely speak to her! Haha!
She‘s such a classy lady and stunning to boot!
she has beautiful eyes
Maybe I am from another planet, but I didn't like the presenter, he just asked nonsense. By the way, she tried to reach his hand, but he didn't let her
He's like a barely talking piece of wood.
probably the most beautiful and graceful woman alive, i wanted to be her so much as a child, she is magical. :)
I loved that she mentioned the old Filene's Basement - the real one in the basement in Filene's in downtown crossing. It was an experience!
What a remarkable woman. She has so much grace, warmth and humility.
No offence Julie, but Audrey Hepburn, in My Fair Lady, knocked it out of the ballpark.
tbf anything and everything Audrey Hepburn was in is the best possible version of that role, we'll never see anyone with her level of beauty and charm ever again
*Class* = has her next to it in the dictionary
Women need to learn from her how to public carry themselves Modest dressing wise.
u could learn from it!
It's hard to imagine anyone playing the part of Mary Poppins the way she did in the original. But also, if you watch the movie now it's hard to imagine anyone with the attention to detail that Walt Disney had. It is a flawless movie.
It’s incredible for 1964. Classic Disney was just so full of imagination and innocent wonder so unique to them, and it’s glaring in Mary Poppins. There’s no studio that coulda produced that movie.
Because you only have one eye and half a brain.
NOW I know why she didn't appear in the movie "My Fair Lady" -- she was a cinematic unknown, and didn't have the box-office draw of a major star! That sucks -- she was the natural choice as Eliza Dolittle, experienced in the part. Appearing in "Mary Poppins" and "The Sound of Music" back-to-back created a strong impression of her as a "Goody Two-Shoes." Imagine her on the screen as Eliza at the races, yelling "Come on, Dover! Move your bloomin' arse!"
She’s even more beautiful in an interview than she was in her movies.
And to think she was the voice of Karathen in Aquaman! Some of the quirkiest casting ever!
Lest we forget that she had one of the most beautiful singing voices, ever!
Just to slightly correct Julie, that man Cecil Beaton said the following "not THAT way you silly BITCH--THIS way!" She nearly burst into tears. That man was really something hahaahaha. The only man in the world who ever had the guts to say that to Julie.
Beaton was a real drama queen. In her first memoir, Julie has some astute things to say about him but seems forgiving of his insecurities. She is a genuinely kind lady.
@@chrisnorton4382 LOL. apparently he used to flail his hands around like a helpless bird.
The loss of her singing voice was one of the tragedies of music
Jaz davis Yes, but I think of it more as a personal tragedy... for her... as well as for us.
Linda Ronstadt also.
Julie Andrews is just stunning!
I'm so curious now what My Fair Lady would have been like with her. I loved Audrey Hepburn, but now I wish there were two versions, lol.
I recently read a reviewer from that era who commented that Ms. Andrews was better as the cockney Eliza, while Ms. Hepburn was better as the refined lady. In any event, both are/were talented women.
I have always thought that too.The Original Broadway Cast recording of MFL remains my favourite show album ; perfection.
She is so beautiful my heart is melting
Utterly, utterly charming! Julie Andrews just exudes sweet wholesomeness and good manners.
Julie tells all already. It's all about a star power and entertainment business. Warner invests his large amount of money for the film of 'My Fair Lady'. So he needs top of the top leading actress as Audrey (or Liz Taylor) to guarantee his investment. Therefore, nobody should be blamed.
It was the right business idea. Audrey Hepburn was fantastic in that movie and she made it a money maker and all time favorite. Julie got "Sound of Music" a Greater movie which has to be the first or second money maker of all time, and she was fantastic in that one too.
I am so glad she wasn't in the movie version of My Fair Lady! Who else could be Mary Poppins and Maria?
Hear! Hear!
@@ellenmurphy2150 it's not religious at all. Of course it's not iconic.
Grunthos The Flatulent I meant they were very good movies. My Fair Lady is a good movie not in the same vein though as Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. Nothing religious was meant concerning them.
Ditto!!!
Grunthos The Flatulent look up the word iconicin the dictionary.
Julie's outfit is the most blatantly 70s normie mainstream female outfit ever in the history of RUclips. Love her though. (I had that outfit or something very close to it.)
I love this woman with ALL of my heart. I wonder why she didn't mention Cinderella when she was asked about works before Mary Poppins...
What’s with the thumbs down? It’s impossible to find something to dislike Julie Andrews.
OMG DICK went to YALE??? No wonder he attended Schubert to see her,...its just a block away! Julie later went to receive an honorary degree from Yale
@Jim Stark i am in my late 20s.
Of course all female guests in a TV show are usually meticulously prepared in terms of appearance and makeup but my God, she is just absolutely radiant. A bit conservative clothing - even in those times - but she did have to maintain a very conservative, family-friendly image that was in sync with her own personality as well. Which by the way looks genuinely sweet and original.
As for Cavett, he was gently trying to fish for juicy bits to make the show a bit more interesting. When he asked about any specific people that got in the way of her part in My Fair Lady, she is too kind to actually mention Jack Warner who had told Audrey Hepburn that Andrews wouldn't get the role even if Audrey had turned the part down. And he had led Hepburn to believe her own singing voice would be used in the movie, even after taking singing lessons and recording all of the film΄s songs.
These were of course replaced almost completely with recordings of Marnie Nixon, as Hepburn learned - to her dismay - *after* the movie was ready. (She later decided to never do a movie again that her own singing voice would not be used in it if the role required it.) And she couldn't escape the comparison with Andrews's great singing voice, which probably cost Hepburn the Oscar nomination as well (which Andrews won for Mary Poppins on the same night).
Andrews, in her speech that night, thanked Warner "for making all this possible" - an ironic remark about not giving her the role for My Fair Lady (which many people were expecting her to get), thus considerably boosting her chances of getting an Oscar for Mary Poppins as a kind of moral compensation for not getting the part she deserved in the 1st place. In an interview in '93 Andrews had said she considered this as the main reason for that Oscar - which of course is quite unfair if you see her amazing, classic performance.
bloodySunday77, wow!
Producers and studio heads could be monsters, but even Walt Disney offered to postpone Mary Poppins to help her film My Fair Lady. Warner was not moved though. But they treated both her and Hepburn very badly. Maybe the song dubbing cost Hepburn the nomination and maybe all this affair gave Julie the award out of talent but also sympathy and support. I think Julie would win the award anyway for her performance but competition would be tougher if Audrey Hepburn was also a nominee. The other nominees, Debbie Reynolds, Ann Bancroft, Sophia Loren and another one which I forget now were probably good but their films were not high profile that year and are not iconic like My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins.
“Andrews, in her speech that night, thanked Warner ‘for making all this possible’"-no, that’s false. Julie Andrews won a a Golden Globe award for that year’s best actress in a musical or comedy a little over a month before the Academy Awards and it was in _that_ speech that she thanked Jack Warner. Warner, to his credit, laughed at the comment.
I love that she mentions Filene's Basement in Boston, spent many days there:)
Young people, you see the difference between this woman and what we have today. And if you're a man and your wanting to find this type of woman, there is no hope for you in today's culture. Thanks for posting this, it's like a time capsule. By the way, Dick Cavett was simple one of the best.
Honestly I would love someone like this and I am myself trying to be like her 🥰❤
Men can not expect to find an exceptional woman with out asking themselves to be exceptional themselves. I waited until I was 29 to marry, it took me that long to find someone who met my expectations and challenged me. I am not suggesting I am perfect, but I worked on myself to be the best I could be and waited patiently and never settled. It can happen.
Holy hec she is adorable. And such wonderful diction. The entire package really. I mean I love Audrey but Julie is an entirely different league.
Hardly. They are both treasures in different ways.
@@richardmayora1289 what does that mean?
Grunthos The Flatulent , your name prefaces your statement. Enough said.
She was a beautiful woman quite sexy here too.
No crush that I ever had on someone else ever exceeded the crush that I had on her back in the day. She epitomized femininity.
Something You Said How I identify w your words!
The woman who starred in My Fair Lady the film had her singing dubbed by another woman. But not Julie Andrews.
That woman was Marni Nixon who sang for many actresses at that time. She also played sister Sophia in the sound of music and sang in "How do you solve a problem like Maria".
Sound of music was all we played of her at home and we loved her, never watched Mary poppins. Oh my fair lady was played fantastically by Hepburn!
I expect the real reason she wasn't cast in the film of My Fair Lady is, not because people didn't know her, but that she didn't have the right photographic image, which Audrey Hepburn had in spades. I felt badly for Julie Andrews. Her voice made the stage production and record (in those days) of My Fair Lady popular; however, the decision to cast Audrey Hepburn in the movie, I believe, was exactly the right decision.
Can't agree more
the loveliest woman in the whole wold.
True story: I was coming out of a matinee movie one afternoon around 1986. A buddy of mine had to used the restroom in the theater. As I waited in the lobby only three other people were in the lobby. One had her back to me but I recognized the hairstyle. It could not be I thought. I walked over closer and the women turned and looked straight in my eyes. It was Julie Andrews aka Mary Poppins! Lol, I reached out my hand and she took it and smiled. Like a seven year old boy(I was 27) I told her I was a huge fan. Julie replied"thats a very nice thing to say". I thanked her and she got in a limo with her two friends. My friend came out of the restroom and I told him who I just talked to.He couldn't believe he missed Beautiful Julie because he had to take a leak. Lol.
What a charming host as well... They're having such a natural conversation!
When she draws the square in the air and makes a split second wink with her eyes she's just to die for.
60's babes were the hottest. specially English....must be the accent and manners
she is lovely!
God she's beautiful. I have always loved her.
Because of Julie Andrews Mary Poppins should have never been remade.
It was not remade. Do some research. And maybe you should seen the film you are incorrectly referencing before passing judgment.
I loved the sequel.
It’s not a remake. It’s more like a sequel. Julie is my perfect Mary Poppins regardless how many sequels
It wasn't re-made. It was a delightful sequel.
But it was long ago atleast remakes glorify the originals again 🥰❤
I can totally imagine Yalies thronging over the Schubert wanting to see this incredible coloratura and gorgeous young girl from England. I'd do the same even today.
I think it did open in New Haven CT.
I remember Dick interviewing Rex Harrison and mentioning he was at the out of town tryout, and that when he went to see it on Broadway they had removed a song.
