She is indeed one of the greatest human-being ever stepped in the history of our humanity and probably the last of the great broads. There will be no one ever who will take after her footstep. Do you know one? Tell me who? It’s like half of the 20th century was her domination. Even up to the first 1st part of the 21st century she was still active. She has set the bar with that very high and class standard that no one can ever dare to challenge, the scale quite hard for us to follow. She is the best. Dame Julie Andrews was born for Mary Poppins and SOM, no one else. They're destined for her. She is full of life.
