History Creator / JulieAndrews

Andrews' other famous films include ''[[{{Film/SOB}} S.O.B.]]'', ''Film/ThoroughlyModernMillie'', ''Film/TheAmericanizationOfEmily'',[[note]]her personal favourite role, and co-star James Garner's as well[[/note]] and ''Film/TornCurtain'' (directed by Creator/AlfredHitchcock).

Her career tapered off in the '90s, partly due to a botched vocal surgery that cost Andrews her four-octave range, but she returned full-force as Queen Clarisse in ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries'' in her first Disney film in 40 years. She went on to voice Queen Lillian in the ''{{WesternAnimation/Shrek}}'' franchise, star as Lily in ''Film/TheToothFairy'', and voice Marlena Gru in ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe''.

* ClusterFBomb: She is infamously foul-mouthed behind the scenes in contrast to the public's perception of her as a proper English lady.

* AwesomeDearBoy: She's very happy to lampoon her own image and to ham it up to get laughs.

Born Julia Elizabeth Wells in 1935 in Walton-on-Thames, England, Julie Andrews grew up performing in vaudeville as a child, after her parents discovered her "freakish" four-octave singing voice. In 1948, at age 12, she performed at the Royal Command Variety Performance, the youngest person ever to do so.

* OddFriendship: Between herself and Creator/CarolBurnett, at first glance since one is primarily known being an EnglishRose while the other for a more working-class style of comedy. But both have their roots in vaudeville and share a similar sense of humor. They've appeared in three well-received TV specials together.

* TheMusical: Appeared in many musicals, where she sang her own parts.

Dame '''Julie Andrews''' is a world-famous British actress, most notable for her roles as Film/MaryPoppins and Maria von Trapp in the film version of ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic''.

She was married to director Creator/BlakeEdwards from 1969 until his death in 2010. She counts comedienne Creator/CarolBurnett, ''The Sound of Music'' co-star Creator/ChristopherPlummer and three-time co-star James Garner among her closest friends.

She made her Broadway debut in ''The Boy Friend'', but became a national sensation as Eliza Doolittle in the Broadway smash ''Theatre/MyFairLady''. In early 1957, she took a week off from the show to star in RodgersAndHammerstein's TV production of ''Film/{{Cinderella}}'', which became the most-watched television broadcast in history. While performing her third Broadway lead — Queen Guenivere in ''Theatre/{{Camelot}}'' — she was approached by Creator/WaltDisney, who asked her to star in the upcoming live-action adaptation of ''Film/MaryPoppins''. She agreed, and two years later won Best Actress in a Leading Role at both the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards of 1964 - beating out Audrey Hepburn, who was nominated only for the former award, for her role as... Eliza Doolittle in the film of ''Film/MyFairLady''. On top of that, Andrews gave a classic TakeThat acceptance speech at the Golden Globes which she thanked JackWarner for snubbing her for the film version of Eliza, and thus being able to trump Hepburn. The next year she had an even bigger smash hit — she starred in the film of ''The Sound of Music''.

She's also written several children's books under the name Julie Andrews Edwards, the most famous of which are ''TheLastOfTheReallyGreatWhangdoodles'' and ''Mandy''. Interestingly, most of the marketing for them doesn't mention the author's work as an actress. They're quite charming.
