My fave role of hers is Educating Rita! Such a wonderful role

[@ajs41]

Definitely.

[@outfromtheshadows]

Mine too.

[@Rashy225]

It’s on tv right now. Never seen it before but it’s good.

[@memoir4you]

Watched it onbbc2 the other night, a funny , sad , poignant & uplifting film . Julie & Michael were fabulous.

[@willboy4u]

I too agree -- it was then that I fell in love with Julie Walters ..

[@ShanaiCollins]

I'm absolutely thrilled that she is now Dame Julie Walters

[@terryshilo6750]

My favourite drama role of Ms. Walters is Educating Rita. It's the first time I remember seeing her and since.. if I see her name; I want to watch it.. comedy or drama. She's wonderful at her craft.

[@showmoke]

Terry Shilo I totally agree - but more than that, I personally think that it's the best role that Michael Caine's ever done.

[@terryshilo6750]

showmoke I totally agree with you Showmoke

[@RosePetal17]

"WOW!"

[@teenaapperson5880]

First time i saw her too...she blew me away!

[@terr777]

...and not a word about it!

[@blackbird5634]

A lovely woman in every way. Such a joy on the screen and to hear her speak sometimes it's magic.

[@rdkuless]

"Personal Services" . was my first Julie Walters movie. She was brilliant. Julie brought dignity, warmth, and hilarious humor to the life of her character. Love this actress.

[@infonut]

She is exactly like a girl I graduated with and from the same era. Ever since I saw Educating Rita it struck me and it continues today. Such a strikingly effervescent personality capable of lifting you up with single smile. Even when she's the villain such as Sister, My Sister.

[@symo444]

I love her - long may she reign

[@roseschocolate1991]

her laugh is so infectious, it makes you laugh too. she's such an amazing actress too. she's done so many roles Molly Weasley, Mrs Wilkinson, Mrs Holland etc amazingly.

[@erepsekahs]

I cannot imagine anyone else in the role of Rita/Susan. I believe Michael Caine brought out the best in her. They were perfect together.

[@myk7295]

Always has been my favorite. I love to just listen to her voice. Julie could read a shopping list and I would be happy.

[@lindawarren8325]

Julie Walters is incredible, wonderful sense of humor, excellent actress.

[@clarequilty4962]

I'm partial to her role based on Cynthia Payne in "Personal Services" and she's a vital, if brief, presence in "Billy Elliot."

[@tillyboos]

Clare Quilty I LOVED her in Billy Elliot.

[@sydhawdon9095]

You've got a willy Dolly 😂

[@RosePetal17]

SUCH TALENT! SUCH A BODY OF WORK! SUCH A LEGEND! Just brilliant!

[@jennyconnatty7635]

Hey Julie! I had an elderly friend who- to echo Mrs Overall - actually said to my mother: 'Did you see that on the TV about the Lesbenarians?' Perhaps she meant Lebanons? Thank you for your for the gifts you have shared with us all... BRAVO!!! MORE! MORE! MORE!!!

[@arthurblundell6128]

Educating Rita - she and Caine were a real match

[@popazz1]

And let's not forget her stupendous performance as Dr.Mo Mowlam,Secretary of State for Northern Ireland who tragically succumbed to a brain tumour.Walters was outstanding in it.

[@scouser26]

I felt one of her most moving and touching performances was in a film called 'My Beautiful Son' where she played a Liverpudlian woman who had had her son adopted to an American couple and he came back to Liverpool to find her because he was ill and needed a transplant. It had me in tears... Such a wonderful actress in all her roles

[@FTMJarra]

I remember that, good film

[@mrpurple11]

Pete Jones i was going to say the same thing i loved that film

[@teltri]

Rita is her best role!

[@johnkennethwiseman682]

yes for sure

[@degsbabe]

Agree. And she didn't even mention it. Or Billy Elliot. Its a book selling exercise. Stick it.

[@claudettedalton3281]

[@sarelito9202]

A wonderfully pleasant and energizing person. Not to mention her brilliant acting!

[@bennyjazzful]

[@blaxtru]

Julie, we know That's Another Story is your auto-bio but are you suggesting we should buy 2 copies?

[@Buckaroo_Baldwin]

Petula Gordino FTW!!!!

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

+Kit Connor that was the first character i remember Julie playing with her friend Victoria Wood playing her character's daughter Bren

[@pigghiable]

adoro questa attrice!!!!!!

[@MrGuardiane77]

Look Its Mrs. Weasley. . . .

[@TimWil]

With all due respect the “lebanese” joke was originally used on the series The Golden Girls years before Acorn Antiques.

[@AP-zg7yx]

Yes. Rue/Blanche and Bea/Dorothy delivered the lines brilliantly!

[@lubeube]

Actually Benny Hill used this joke long before the Golden Girls. "She told be she was Lebanese so iIthought I'd be allright."

[@lubeube]

Why does the autocorrect rewrite what I wrote incorrectly. I'll have another try. "She told me she was Lebanese so I thought I'd be all right."

[@tarync6539]

Petula Gordino! Everyday! "I wish I had the courage to be bourgeois"

[@michaelwynne7513]

"I think I'm Lebanese." Think the first time I heard that one was around 1994.

[@petermorris9818]

Adore Bo Overall.

[@softiixbear4822]
