She might have lost her singing voice, but Julie Andrews has NEVER lost her song.

[@brendakaira5482]

I know what you mean. It is amazing how someone that could heal our dullest moments could go through so much pain! Life is hard.

[@andyvictory950]

I know she lost her ability to sing, but she still have that warm and angelic voice

[@bookwormwonder]

I'm sad that so many generations will never have had the privilege of seeing her in movies growing up.

[@LuvNickynGina4ever]

Why do you say that, all her most famous works are still widely available, the people growing up in today's world just need someone to introduce them to the wonder that is julie andrews!!

[@kllwc7772]

eeminxs Why not ? All of her films are available to buy/ watch .

[@bookwormwonder]

Yes, but so many do not have the people who will do so or will not be interested in 'older' movies.

[@kllwc7772]

eeminxs Maybe and maybe not....

[@jenniferp9136]

Which is why I'm going to bring my children up watching her movies in hopes that they will love her just as much as I do, maybe even enough to do the same for their own children. I can't make anything happen, but it doesn't hurt hope.

[@ilovepalmtrees08]

What a lovely lady, she has this royal-ness to her

[@friendofdorothy9376]

Yes, very serene...and graceful.

She's a queen in her own right. I'm sure even Queen Elizabeth would agree as well.

[@AndySaenz]

Wow, she was married to Blake Edwards for 41 years until he died! That’s a loyal lady right there!

[@jake24685]

Rare for Hollywood

[@paulg6527]

And who knew all the turmoil she went with him and her parents. She never made it seem like anything was ever wrong.

[@international.somewhere]

Nothing to do with loyalty... you can be in an arranged marriage or a crap marriage for 40 years

[@Nazaba09]

Not the Doctor because you are loyal and don’t believe you get out when things get hard, something no one knows about today.

[@hoshiuno7530]

@@Nazaba09 true just some fight and the couples would go divorce though there are some families who divorced for grave reasons but for fights that are normal in a relationship they wiuld then file for divorce.

[@dinh5532]

I so agree! I don't want to know a world without Julie Andrews.

[@AndySaenz]

1:19 That’s funny how she calls her leading men “delicious”. 😂 Well, Julie, you’re the whole damn meal! And you’ve served us a generous portion of your amazing talents for several decades. Thank you.

[@caroleelijio1962]

Julie is always a “Queen” in my eyes

[@kllwc7772]

She’s got a great acting range and sometimes that gets overlooked by her musicals ,Which I love btw!

[@samsong24]

I totally agree. She has incredible listening skills as an actress. And great reactionary skills. I love watching her just be so in the moment in her films.

[@kllwc7772]

S M Thanks ,I also think she was typecast as well but thankfully she managed to shake that off eventually.Julie has always been radiant on screen and watchable....

[@samsong24]

Climb Every Mountain was for me the most powerful song from The Sound of Music. It really packs a punch that hits your soul

[@jo.is.reading]

My grandma is the one who first introduced me to her in The Sound of Music, and my grandma was so special to me. Her voice is so iconic and I admire her so much!! 💕💕

[@carolynparsons5066]

Dame Julie Andrews what a legend! Mary Poppins and the Sound of Music are two of my favorite movies. I love Victor Victoria too. Just hearing Dame Julie Andrew's name makes me smile. Hollywood Royalty.

I seriously love her, and her voice brings me so much comfort. 💜 What a beautiful human being!

[@katiem6773]

Julie is truly brilliant, talented and a blessing! What a voice and a range she had. Always think of her as Mary Poppins.

[@Makimaki304]

She changed my life. I was so so shy and introverted. I remember when I first started to learn english, in an after school class, I was scared to speak and I even had problems finding a friend. My teacher showed us the sound of music. I learned to sing doremi, I even entered an English speaking contest later on. I performed my speech along with the my favourite thing song. That were some magical moments in my childhood I’m always grateful for, and will always be remembering for my entire life. So that was around the 2010’s, it’s just amazing to think about how many generations Julie has influenced. I really wish I get to meet her one day. Truly an idol.

[@mlchc9004]

Julie inspires! She brings magic,. Her art & her life with all its imperfections & how she’s perfected them inspires! She is super genuine, a class act & a beauty

[@danielleevans3323]

Sigh. Julie Andrews is pure class all around. What a treasure this iconic legend is. Bravo.

[@teresaclemmer3613]

Julie forever! Such a beautiful lady! Love you Julie Andrews!

[@tashmivyas]

I am crying right now..this woman is an inspiration....I have read her memoirs but listening it from her makes me realize even more that she has lead such a tough life...always taking care of others...always there for others and as Emma put it "I don't know a more resilient woman in my life".....she is the epitome of optimism, hope and everything positive even when she was fighting her own battles personally, she always gave the world so much joy and happiness..Dame Julie says she is lucky but i say that infact it is us who are lucky to have lived during the times of Dame Julie Andrews....i hope she received all the love that she deserved...much more love and good health to her..love always ❤️ ❤️

"A life once so radiant, and valiant".... I truly, cannot agree with that statement. She may not be able to sing anymore... But I still hear her song. And it sings to me, more beautiful than ever before.

That was definitely Blake ringing the doorbell. Sometimes the world gives people little moments like that. Some people call them "God winks." Because sometimes things that are "just coincidences" are so astonishing that they only could have come from something divine. That doorbell was a "God wink."

haha Blake still with a sense of humor even after he has passed away...rings the door bell just when one would least expect. May he be resting in peace. And GMA kind of did a macabre ending...not really into being sad. Way too emotive for a book release.
