Julie Andrews

Born Julia Elizabeth Wells, on Oct. 1, 1935, at Walton-On-Thames in Surrey, England. Ever since she was eight, she sang in music halls and performed on stage. When she was 13, she sang for the Queen at the London Hippodrome. When she was 19, she stared in "The Boy Friend". The New York version of "The Boy Friend" ran for 485 performances. Andrews moved on to better things starring in "My Fair Lady", becoming the youngest actress ever to play the part of Eliza Doolittle professionally. Andrews also played Queen Guinevere in the musical "Camelot" in 1960. She made her screen debut in "Mary Poppins" in 1964. She won both an Academy Award and Golden Globe for this performance. In "The Sound Of Music", Andrews played the governess of 7 children who in the end falls in love with the childrens father, Captain Von Trapp. Another musical film which featured Andrews was "Thouroghly Modern Millie" made in 1967. Here she portrayed a young woman during the 1920's. In 1959, she married set and costume designer, Tony Walton, which ended in a divorce in 1968. From that marriage she had one child, Emma Kate, the only of her children who aren't adopted. On Nov. 12, 1969, Andrews remarried director/producer Blake Edwards who already had two children, Amy Leigh and Joanna Lynn, both adopted. Between 1970 and 1986, Andrews appeared in many films including "Victor/Victoria", which was the first movie that landed her a starring role in the same play. The play started in 1995 and ended in 1997. It was the most attended play in Ney York City its whole run. Throughout the play, Andrews had many sicknesses, mainly in her throat. She just dealt with it by drinking tea and taking medicine. When the show was finished, she had surgery and was guarenteed her throat would heal, in fact it was supposed to be better. After the surgery her throat didn't recover. Since then she has been seeing many coaches about her throat and none of them have helped it recover. Even when she talks, her voice sounds hoarse. 3 months ago it was rumored that Andrews' voice had recovered, but after her interview with Barbara Walters, Andrews assured us that her voice had not yet recovered, and to keep hoping it gets better. It is only a few months short of a two years now and suing is a consideration. Even though many people think of Julie Andrews as their own mother and one of the luckiest people in the whole world, that is quite the contrary. She is constantly reminded to keep the faith and remember, "She'll sing once more". This is not an official webpage for Julie Andrews. Any feedback you send thru this site does not go to her.
