Julie Andrews and Angela Lansbury

From "The Julie Andrews Hour", a salute to the great ladies of showbusines

[@jillparks]

Proof that two Queens can share a stage. I adored these two ladies while growing up and I never knew they performed together. Thank you for posting this.

Angela Lansbury, Julie Andrew's, and Steve Lawrence. Three powerful performers. Then, now and always. RIP, Dame Angela Lansbury. 😔💔

Amazing. Pure talent. Pure gold. RIP Angela 🥰

Two great Dame's of the British Empire. Love them both.🇬🇧

Dame Julie and Dame Angela still going strong today! I agree; shows like this don’t exist today. It puts a smile on my face every time I see them perform!

[@Swissspookie]

@@susanford2388 how very true, I'd also add that angela actually did keep up fairly well with julie and I was shocked/pleased to not be able to hear the difference in their voices at certain points.

[@vickifriend9285]

I absolutely adore Angela Lansbury. I saw her 4 times in Blithe Spirit in London 2014. She was wholly fabulous, the whole cast was but she, in her 80’s was truly exceptional. Julie Andrews is pretty fabulous too. I remember her when she lived by me on Wimbledon Common. That tells you how old I am! This popped up when I was watching Jason Manford hosting the London musical stage awards. Sorry but his version of Razzle Dazzle is, to put it kindly, dreadful ! Listen to Carol Channing sing it at The Hollywood Bowl! Nearly all of our musical stars have left us now. Anyone remember Elisabeth Welch or Josephine Baker. Real stars!!

(kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn2yenqcn8irkKc - skip to 2:35, then watch to after 5 [there are lightbulbs!]) Talk about disconcerting … [But good on her!] (US viewers may not know Cilla [except perhaps as a '60s singer]. She was - by that date [2001 I think] - known as the rather motherly presenter of warm-hearted TV programmes - rejoining long-lost relatives, that sort of thing.)

Two British talents that America recognised and burnished. There’s nothing like a Dame... unless it’s another Dame

[@ScrapNfight]

WOW! Lansbury without intention completely upstages Andrews when they sing together. She's the one your eye goes to.

[@margaretford1011]

Her face and body were so expressive…she was a perfect character actress. She could go from snooty high class to raunchy low class characterizations in a blink of an eye.

It would have been interesting to see them play in Chicago when they were younger! They would have killed it!

[@jameshamilton8245]

Yes I was surprised also. I also think the tap sound were dubbed. There were several times when I thought Julie's foot movements were out of sync with the sound.

[@lordkalvan816]

@@jameshamilton8245 I think I read once that even Eleanor's sounds were dubbed because she needed to felt her shoes or something so they wouldn't slip.

[@G6JPG]

JA actually had a very sexy figure, though rarely took advantage of it (probably making it all the more effective when she did, as in "Three Guesses" in "Darling Lili" for example)

[@tashmivyas]

She looked absolutely gorgeous in The Tamarind Seed and The JAH as well...The problem was the public couldn't handle it..still saw her in the Mary Poppins and Maria Von Trapp.

[@G6JPG]

@@tashmivyas Ah, in the bikini! Only /some/ of the public: however, including studio executives, I think. (Allegedly she had a car bumper sticker in the '60s that said "Mary Poppins is a junkie"!). Of course, "S. O. B." was an attempt to fight that.

[@tashmivyas]

@@G6JPG yup the sticker was a dare from Mike Nichols to her.. ofcourse she had to put it...SOB was a great take off on the image and everything that was Hollywood.. loved it... I wasn't born at that time; however, from whatever i have read about the magazine articles and news; quite a major chunk of the audience bracketed her...people would literally go up to her with Mary Poppins dolls and stuff and TSOM releasing wasn't also helpful....it took them about 10 years till 10 (1979) was made that they could accept another side to her... ofcourse the audience had also changed by then. She had great potential and is multi talented and versatile, and i am glad she did those varied roles and did not confine to the image.

[@BobChippewa]

Check out The Hardy Girls, with Judy Garland, Angela was co-starring and what a beauty she was.

[@RehabRaccoon69]

Man, I can't believe they never did a movie together! Or a Broadway show. But it's wonderful to see them at least together on a special like this. Going to treasure this rare gem always. Thank you!

[@26shar]

Man! I miss the days when people actually did award shows and showcased talent, rather than being half dressed and discussing politics.

[@triggerfish9967]

I felt so uncomfortable during Julie's tap dancing. Guess they couldn't find a good sound effect for tap steps back then.

Thank you very much for this video! Aunque ya hace años que vi otros videos de ese programa, es la primera vez que veo la escena de Lansbury interpretando "Some of these days". Es perfecta para mi. Me gustaría escucharla y verla cantando más estándares del jazz. Seguramente hoy todavía lo puede hacer muy bien a sus 91 años cumplidos. Happy birthday, Angela! (Sorry for my English).

[@osisadorio619]

Eduardo Aguirre Si, está estupenda recordando a Sophie Tucker, seguro que todavía podría cantar ese tipo de canciones.

[@eduardoaguirre8812]

Muchas gracias por contestar en español. Si, escuche un par de versiones de esa pieza realizadas por Sophie Tucker, sin duda su principal interprete, así como también la de otros grandes. Lansbury lo hace con mucha gracia y sensualidad. Podría haber sido una gran artista de vodevil.

[@robstockton911]

Amazing that they’d put something like this together for a TV show! Wouldn’t/couldn't happen today. Reminds me what crap we’re willing to watch nowadays.

[@EduardoBuenoamigo]

I love these old shows, but this duo was as awful as you can come up with. They were competing to see who could be the loudest. Both are symbols of pure magic trying to be showgirls.. oh my goodness. When they perform alone, sure, they are pure class and talent, but talents that clash so badly it is embarrassing. Sorry.

[@lizaelliott6862]

Is the tap that Julie does real??!! Wow

[@soulfyremac]

Actually, no. Julie Andrews is certainly multi-talented, but tap is not a specialty of hers. But she can certainly fake it well

[@HarringtonTribal]

Actually - yes - she taps. There's a wonderful video of her and Gene Kelly playing rhythm tap "guess that song." But the entire performance here is pre-recorded (like all of them from this era) so there is no need for taps. There were no taps on Gene Kelly or Donald O'Connor in Singing in the Rain either - but we heard them.

[@HarringtonTribal]

Also - Angela Landsbury taps as well. Look for the opening of either the Oscars in 1973 that she hosted. She taps in that.

[@HarringtonTribal]

Yes - she really does tap. Also check out Thoroughly Modern Millie's elevator scene.

[@AndreinaGarban]

She learned taps even before singing. She comes from Vaudeville. And she was taught ballet and taps. So, yes, she taps.

[@capemaxi]

Both these Brits have film, Broadway and tv credits. Angela did Mame, Sweeney Todd, and Hello Dolly. Julie did My Fair Lady, Victor/Victoria .

[@SueWalsh]

The tap dancing was fake-if you look closely during the close up of Julie's shoes, it clearly shows there are no taps on them. Still an excellent performance though!

[@robynwaugh1446]

Sue Walsh not only that but she’s clearing not hitting he feet in the ground to make the taps as they are in the song playing. It’s pretty evident even without looking at the shoe that she’s just dancing over music with tap noise in it
