[@mlchc9004]

Got me 1 but I have not finished reading it yet. Her first Home was extraordinary, so well worth it. Am most certain this second one is even more amazing

[@chasehedges6775]

One fact: She's practically perfect in every single way. Always has been, Always shall be.

[@trinaq]

You can't deny that fact, Julie will ALWAYS be iconic!😍

[@georgevyvyan7468]

Apparently of ANY Hollywood actor, she is given the most applause and love at any special screenings of her most popular films, even more than actors like Streep or Hanks. She truly is the greatest.

[@mlchc9004]

[@LolaSweetheart]

Always classy, always dignified - there's only one Julie Andrews, my musical hero :)

[@randomuser918]

Heats off to this woman, she is the definition of royalty. I absolutely adore her.

[@jalenedwards4935]

I totally agree I loved her in the princess diaries and Mary Poppins

[@kryptonianpowers]

She's practically a queen in her own right.

[@lissie8602]

[@trinaq]

Julie Andrews is practically perfect in every way.💗 It was wonderful to hear her sing a duet in "Princess Diaries 2", after her throat surgery, when she thought that she may never sing again. 🎵🎹😩

[@strivingformindfulness2356]

I shed tears of surprise and joy when I first watched Princess Diaries 2; my nieces were concerned for me, until, after the scene, we paused the DVD, and I explained. They were amazed that she was also Mary Poppins (which we had watched a couple of months before), and sad about the botched surgery. And there's the scene (9:55), and here come the tears!

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

The only woman who’s had the some hairstyle for 50 years but still looks amazing

[@olly-kai]

It's called a pixie cut, and it's pretty much her trademark. Part of her persona...a very modern style and easy to do, as apparently she did her own hair the night she won the Oscar! "I had long hair for a long while in my youth," she said. But she had to wear a wig while making the 1964 film "Mary Poppins" and all that long hair under a wig was hot. Once she got it bobbed off, she said, she realized it looked quite attractive. "It really was the easiest and absolutely the most suitable cut for me," she said. And it has stayed short ever since.

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

When I was a freshman in high school, our school was across the street from a theatre where Julie was directing the musical "The Boyfriend" (the very first broadway musical she was in!) and my entire class, teacher included, played hookie and went across the street to see the press conference she was having because they were re-naming the street "Andrews Ave." for the time she was here in Minnesota for the show. We got there early enough that my class was right up front and when she came out I waved to her and she smiled at me and waved back. I swear, if I wasn't standing next to my crush that day, I would have cried!!!!!! This woman is my whole life.

[@Wiiguy1606]

I want Julie Andrews to be my life's narration

[@kryptonianpowers]

Everybody does.

[@neadod2902]

I've always felt great sympathy towards Julie since she lost her voice. I can't even imagine the devastation she must of felt😢

[@Andresescamilla97]

Julie Andrews is what every girl should aspire to be.

[@wendyraines8011]

Partially. Every girl should aspire to be the best SHE can be using those perceived positive qualities JA shows in public. If you read her bio, "Home", you might change your original statement.

[@howhigh4209]

Definitely

[@amygreig2856]

No every girl should aspire to be what they want to be not every girl wants to be as conservative as Julie Andrews

[@olly-kai]

That's Dame Julie Andrews, thank you very much! 😃

[@TesIaNews2024]

Favorite Julie moment: in the very rare film called Duet for One, Julie strips down to her heart and soul; no major musical numbers-just mastery of her craft and the camera lens.

[@AndreinaGarban]

Her performance in that movie is so great!

[@sarahmayara9916]

I am absolutely in love with Julie Andrews since I was a child. My father presented me "the sound of music" when I was very little and I learned how to sing all the songs in english, although my mother language is Portuguese. I love her by not only her talent, but also because she is an amazing human being. Practically perfect in every single way.

[@halyvan]

I just love “Mr. Disney I can’t, I’m pregnant. It’s ok. We’ll wait”. Walt Disney is iconic!

[@julsvamp1327]

I love Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins! Watched several times. Not only in German but in English too! And still it's my favourite movie made by Disney!

[@stephaniewayman6850]

Another fun fact: the Rodgers and Hammerstein Cinderella WAS written for Julie Andrews.

[@mlchc9004]

Yessss! and she made the most beautiful Cinderella

[@olly-kai]

And she's being modest when she says My Fair Lady wasn't written with her in mind. She was the first choice of Lerner & Lowe.

[@alexadanielahernandez3476]

I’ve looked up to her for soooo long. And I’m so glad I did. She’s one of my BIGGEST inspirations. She’s practically perfect in every way 💜

[@UltimateTrekkie1]

I love that high note at the end of Do Re Me, too. I’m so glad she ended up playing Maria.

[@annbsirius1703]

She's also a published writer. Someone gave me her book "Mandy" when I was 9 or 10 and I loved it! It's about a girl at an orphanage who finds a derelict cottage on property behind the orphanage and starts taking care of it as if she's making a home for herself. She wrote it under the name Julie Edwards. I believe she's also co-written books with her daughter Emma.

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

I didn't realize they adopted children!!!!!! That's so incredible! Three of the 4 children in my family are adopted! Me included! :D

[@AWickedSister2024]

I read both Home and Homework (listened to them on Audible 3x). There is nothing like hearing Julie Andrews tell a story and tell her own. I could write a lot about her books but I'll simply say they changed my life and I am grateful to her and her daughter Emma for writing them. She is truly amazing.

[@NancySanders-om4ic]

What a nice gesture to share your feelings and thoughts regarding Julie Andrews.

[@Xtine90380]

I first saw her in Mary Poppins and immediately loved her and it became one of my most favorite movies of all time! I've literally watched it multiple times a month.

[@robandcorinneminshall3616]

She is, and always has been, practically perfect in every way. Interesting little tidbit, on the 25th Anniversary of when The Sound of Music was released (1990, yeah, I know, I’m old), there was a special and during it she related a story in which she said that when they were filming the Do-Re-Mi scene, in which she’s fingerpicking the guitar, she was struggling “getting her fingers to move correctly”. Luckily, for her sake, and many of the other adults in the cast and crew, there was a local farmer who made his own schnapps. She engaged in a little bit of tippling and “Bam” her fingers worked. Inwardly I kinda chuckle every time, since I heard the story, thinking she’s just the tiniest bit….enhanced….in that scene…. There ya go Ms. Mojo!!! Xoxo. ❤️🎶🎼

[@Father_of_Death]

She really is practically perfect in every way.

[@Harringtonml54]

Another fascinating fact: she is the only performer in Academy Awards history to have been nominated THREE times for work in film musicals. Still another fascinating fact: she is the only person in Golden Globes history to win during FOUR consecutive years (for 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1967); her 5th Golden Globe award came for 1982.

[@rebeccamaracle2878]

I've got a video of my toddler watching the opening scene of the Sound of Music for the first time. When the music built and Julie started singing, her little two-year-old jaw actually dropped. It's the cutest thing.

[@julianaayu]

My favorite Julie Andrew moment is during Mary Poppin's Step In Time song, where she jumps and spins in the air for quite a long time, lands and gives a "hmmmph" nod.

[@ncisfan78]

I watched the behind the scenes feature for Princess Diaries 2 and Garry Marshall asked her to sing and she had to tell him she couldn’t sing the way she used to so they made it a speak/singing song. Marshall said after filming the song, every one on set, including big men with tattoos had tears in their eyes. It is so wrong that she can no longer belt out songs like she once did.

[@brodiger]

Julie Andrews is so amazing there isn’t gonna be anybody like her to do the roles of Maria Von trap in Mary Poppins if anything happens to her will be sad if she dies she’s like the most amazing actress that could ever lived I love her movies like Mary Poppins and the sound of music I remember watching these films and I was little she is really amazing my favorite moment was when she was singing as a soprano before her throat got damaged and then she became an alto which is sad she’s really amazing she will always be Mary Poppins to me

[@scarlettstott7570]

If she dies?

[@brodiger]

Scarlett Stott Think about it she’s in her 80s she’s getting old you know she’s pretty much getting up there in that might happen either way she is still a good actress and we love her movies

[@scarlettstott7570]

@@brodiger it will definitely be sad and yes she will leave behind a great legacy. I thought you were saying "if she dies", in a literal sense, because death is inevitable

The only part I remember from that first viewing was trying to watch Let's Go Fly a Kite while holding onto my mom's hand while we were leaving the theater. I kept turning around and saying "But it's not over yet!" Since becoming a grown-up, I always stay through the credits 😁

[@chrisnorton4382]

That is a very misleading statement. She had just had major surgery on her ankle, to fit a titanium implant, and was on a cocktail of painkillers etc afterwards. She knew she would not be able to cope with the role at that time so had to decline it. She is 100% professional and always wants to deliver a good performance. Joanna Lumley played the part of the English aunt instead.

[@Susan10093]

When Steven Colbert asks Julie Andrews if the part of Eliza Doolittle (in My Fair Lady) was written for her, she says, "no, not really". From what I've read Lerner and Loewe most likely had Deanna Durbin in mind for the part, but they couldn't convince Durbin to come out of retirement. Needless to say that Julie Andrews fit the role perfectly on stage!

Check it out and even if you're not an opera fan, I think you'll be impressed. *(Edit;* I just found a copy on ebay and ordered it, and even better, the money goes to charity!)
