Julie Andrews - A Brief Bio

Here's more about her, courtesy of Wikipedia.

Julie Elizabeth Andrews, DBE (born Julia Elizabeth Wells onJulie Andrews. Reel Classics. 1 October 1935)Dame Julie: The sound of music. 31 December 1999. Retrieved 29 January 2007. is a British film and stage actress, singer, and author.

Her voice spanned four octaves until it was damaged by a throat operation in 1998.

Andrews had a major revival of her film career in the 2000s, in family films such as The Princess Diaries (2001), its sequel Category: The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement - (2004), and the Shrek animated films (2004?2007). In 2003 Andrews revisited her first Broadway success, this time as a stage director, with a revival of The Boy Friend at the Bay Street Theatre, Sag Harbor, New York (and later at the Goodspeed Opera House, in East Haddam, Connecticut in 2005).

Andrews is also an author of children's books, and in 2008 she published an autobiography, Category: Home: A Memoir of My Early Years - .

Julie Andrews in the Movies 

She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

It all started with Mary Poppins in 1964. Julie Andrews was no longer just a star on Broadway, she was a movie star. The Sound of Music followed in 1965 and became one of the greatest movies of all times. Several other movie roles followed through the 70s and 80s. But that is so last century!

The 21st century brought Julie Andrews to some different movie roles, The Princess Diaries parts 1 and 2, and then came Shrek. (Watch for a new Shrek coming in 2010!) Julie's most recent movie appearance is as the narrator in Enchanted.

What can you say. She's always been supercalifragil. . . well, you know.

Julie Andrews - The Sound of Music 

Movie music just doesn't get any better than this!

The Sound of Music (Two-Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition)

The Sound of Music is one of the most successful movies of all time. It's hard to imagine anyone other than Julie Andrews as "Maria," hard to imagine a better love story. Hard to imagine that there's anyone who doesn't know all the words to all of the songs! (I do, do you?)

Julie Andrews on TV 

From Carnegie Hall to Sesame Street and many places in between.

Sometimes the "small screen" is a big thing, like when an actress and singer like Julie Andrews can become a guest in our own living room via the medium of television.

Julie Andrews has appeared with such amazing talents as Jackie Gleason and Carol Burnett, she has had her own TV show, and she's appeared in made-for-TV movies.

My favorites are Julie's appearances with Carol Burnett. The two are close friends whose chemistry on stage makes their performances so very memorable and special.
