Life is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious|Supercalifragilisticexpialidocius.
Success is terrifying. Like happiness, it is often appreciated in retrospect. It's only later that you place it in perspective. Years from now, I'll look back and say, "God, wasn't it wonderful?"
Hopefully, I brought people a certain joy. That will be a wonderful legacy.
Can I give them what they think they're going to get from me? That's always the big question.
I saw The Sound of Music again recently, and I loved it. Probably it's a more valuable film now than when it first came out, because some of the things it stood for have already disappeared. There's a kind of naive loveliness about it, and love goes by so fast ... love and music and happiness and family, that's what it's all about. I believe in these things. It would be awful not to, wouldn't it?
I'm more contented and at peace with myself now than I was as a box-office queen. I'm less uptight. I've even reached a stage where it doesn't shatter me if somebody prints something bad about me.
I think of part of myself as a very passionate person, but I don't think that comes across. I don't know where it comes from, that reserve or veneer of British niceness. But it doesn't bother me if other people don't spot the passion. I know it's there... As long as Blake Edwards|Blake knows.
As you become older, you become less judgmental and take offense less. But marriage is hard work; the illusion that you get married and live happily ever after is absolute rubbish.

Andrews had a revival of her film career in the 2000s in family films such as The Princess Diaries
(2001), its sequel The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
(2004), the Shrek
animated films (2004–2010), and Despicable Me
(2010). 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 published an autobiography, Home: A Memoir of My Early Years
.
Early life
Julia Elizabeth Wells was born on 1 October 1935 in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England. Her mother, Barbara Ward Wells (née Morris), was married to Edward Charles "Ted" Wells, a teacher of metal and woodworking, but Andrews was conceived as a result of an affair her mother had with a family friend.
With the outbreak of World War II
, Barbara and Ted Wells went their separate ways. Ted Wells assisted with evacuating children to Surrey
during the Blitz
, while Barbara joined Ted Andrews in entertaining the troops through the good offices of the Entertainments National Service Association
(ENSA). Barbara and Ted Wells were soon divorced. They both remarried: Barbara to Ted Andrews, in 1939; and Ted Wells to a former hairstylist working a lathe at a war factory that employed them both in Hinchley Wood
, Surrey.
Andrews lived briefly with Ted Wells and her brother John in Surrey. In about 1940, Ted Wells sent her to live with her mother and stepfather, who, the elder Wells thought, would be better able to provide for his talented daughter's artistic training. According to her 2008 autobiography Home, while Julie had been used to calling Ted Andrews "Uncle Ted", her mother suggested it would be more appropriate to refer to her stepfather as "Pop", while her father remained "Dad" or "Daddy" to her. Julie disliked this change.
The Andrews family was "very poor and we lived in a bad slum area of London," Andrews recalled, adding, "That was a very black period in my life." In addition, according to Andrews' 2008 memoir, her stepfather was an alcoholic. Ted Andrews twice, while drunk, tried to get into bed with his stepdaughter, resulting in Andrews putting a lock on her door. But, as the stage career of Ted and Barbara Andrews improved, they were able to afford to move to better surroundings, first to Beckenham
and then, as the war ended, back to the Andrews' home town of Hersham. The Andrews family took up residence at The Old Meuse, in West Grove; Hersham (now demolished) a house where Andrews' maternal grandmother happened to have served as a maid.
Julie Andrews' stepfather sponsored lessons for her, first at the Cone-Ripman School, an independent arts educational school in London, then with the famous concert soprano and voice instructor Madame Lilian Stiles-Allen
. "She had an enormous influence on me", Andrews said of Stiles-Allen, adding, "She was my third mother – I've got more mothers and fathers than anyone in the world." In her memoir Julie Andrews – My Star Pupil, Stiles-Allen records: "The range, accuracy and tone of Julie's voice amazed me ... she had possessed the rare gift of absolute pitch
" (though Andrews herself refutes this in her 2008 autobiography Home). According to Andrews: "Madame was sure that I could do Mozart and Rossini, but, to be honest, I never was". Of her own voice, she says "I had a very pure, white, thin voice, a four-octave range – dogs would come for miles around." After Cone-Ripman School, Andrews continued her academic education at the nearby Woodbrook School, a local state school in Beckenham
.
Early career in the United Kingdom
Julie Andrews performed spontaneously and unbilled on stage with her parents for about two years beginning in 1945. "Then came the day when I was told I must go to bed in the afternoon because I was going to be allowed to sing with Mummy and Pop in the evening," Andrews explained. She would stand on a beer crate to reach the microphone and sing, sometimes a solo or as a duet with her stepfather, while her mother played piano. "It must have been ghastly, but it seemed to go down all right."Julie Andrews got her big break when her stepfather introduced her to Val Parnell
, whose Moss Empires
controlled prominent venues in London. Andrews made her professional solo debut at the London Hippodrome singing the difficult aria "Je Suis Titania" from Mignon
as part of a musical revue called "Starlight Roof" on 22 October 1947. She played the Hippodrome for one year. Andrews recalled "Starlight Roof" saying, "There was this wonderful American person and comedian, Wally Boag
, who made balloon animals. He would say, 'Is there any little girl or boy in the audience who would like one of these?' And I would rush up onstage and say, 'I'd like one, please.' And then he would chat to me and I'd tell him I sang... I was fortunate in that I absolutely stopped the show cold. I mean, the audience went crazy."
On 1 November 1948, Julie Andrews became the youngest solo performer ever to be seen in a Royal Command Variety Performance
, at the London Palladium
, where she performed along with Danny Kaye
, the Nicholas Brothers
and the comedy team George and Bert Bernard for members of King George VI's family.
Julie Andrews followed her parents into radio and television. She reportedly made her television debut on the BBC program RadiOlympia Showtime on 8 October 1949. She garnered considerable fame throughout the United Kingdom for her work on the BBC radio comedy show Educating Archie
; she was a cast member from 1950 to 1952.
Andrews appeared on West End Theatre at the London Casino, where she played one year each as Princess Badroulbadour in Aladdin
and the egg in Humpty Dumpty
. She also appeared on provincial stages across United Kingdom in Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood, as well as starring as the lead role in Cinderella.
In 1950 at the age of 14, Andrews was asked to sing at a party of a family friend, Katherine Norwalk, and it was then that she learned that Ted Wells was not her biological father.
Early career in the United States
On 30 September 1954 on the eve of her 19th birthday, Julie Andrews made her Broadway debut portraying "Polly Browne" in the already highly successful London musical The Boy Friend. To the critics, Andrews was the stand-out performer in the show. Near the end of her Boy Friend contract, Andrews was asked to audition for My Fair Lady
on Broadway and got the part. In November 1955 Andrews was signed to appear with Bing Crosby
in what is regarded as the first made-for-television movie, High Tor
.
Andrews auditioned for a part in the Richard Rodgers
musical Pipe Dream
. Although Rodgers wanted her for Pipe Dream, he advised her to take the part in the Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner
musical My Fair Lady
if it were offered to her. In 1956, she appeared on stage in My Fair Lady as Eliza Doolittle
to Rex Harrison
's Henry Higgins. Rodgers was so impressed with Andrews' talent that concurrent with her run in My Fair Lady that she was featured in the Rodgers and Hammerstein
television musical, Cinderella
. Cinderella was broadcast live on CBS
on 31 March 1957 under the musical direction of Alfredo Antonini
and attracted an estimated 107 million viewers.
Andrews married set designer Tony Walton
on 10 May 1959 in Weybridge
, Surrey. They had first met in 1948 when Andrews was appearing at the London Casino in the show Humpty Dumpty. The couple filed for a divorce on 14 November 1967.
Between 1958 and 1962, Andrews appeared on such specials as CBS-TV's The Fabulous Fifties and NBC-TV's The Broadway of Lerner & Loewe. In addition to guest starring on The Ed Sullivan Show
, she also appeared on The Dinah Shore Chevy Show
, What's My Line?
, The Jack Benny Program
, The Bell Telephone Hour
, and The Garry Moore Show
. In June 1962 Andrews co-starred in Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall
, a CBS special with Carol Burnett
.
In 1960 Lerner and Loewe again cast her in a period musical as Queen Guinevere
in Camelot
, with Richard Burton
and newcomer Robert Goulet
. However movie studio head Jack Warner
decided Andrews lacked sufficient name recognition for her casting in the film version of My Fair Lady
; Eliza was played by the established film actress Audrey Hepburn
instead. As Warner later recalled, the decision was easy, "In my business I have to know who brings people and their money to a movie theatre box office. Audrey Hepburn had never made a financial flop."
Career peak

, who was born in London two months later. The family returned to the United States
in 1963 and Andrews began her work in the title role of Disney
's musical film Mary Poppins
. Walt Disney
had seen a performance of Camelot
and thought Andrews would be perfect for the role of the British nanny who is "practically perfect in every way!" Andrews initially declined because of pregnancy, but Disney politely insisted, saying, "We'll wait for you."
As a result of her performance in Mary Poppins, Andrews won the 1964 Academy Award for Best Actress
and the 1965 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. She and her Mary Poppins co-stars also won the 1965 Grammy Award for Best Album for Children
. As a measure of "sweet revenge," as Poppins songwriter Richard M. Sherman
put it, Andrews closed her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes by saying, "And, finally, my thanks to a man who made a wonderful movie and who made all this possible in the first place, Mr. Jack Warner." Warner passed over Andrews in favor of Audrey Hepburn
for the starring role of Eliza Doolittle
in My Fair Lady
.
In 1964 she appeared opposite James Garner
in The Americanization of Emily
(1964), which she has described as her favourite film. In 1966, Andrews won her second Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and was also nominated for the 1965 Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Maria von Trapp
in The Sound of Music
.
After completing The Sound Of Music, Andrews appeared as a guest star on the NBC-TV variety series The Andy Williams Show, which gained her an Emmy nomination. She followed this television appearance with an Emmy Award-winning color special, The Julie Andrews Show, which featured Gene Kelly
and The New Christy Minstrels as guests. It aired on NBC-TV in November 1965.
In 1966 Andrews starred with Max von Sydow
in the epic Hawaii, with Paul Newman
in the Hitchcock
thriller Torn Curtain
, and as the title character of the 1920s spoof musical Thoroughly Modern Millie
, her last big cinema hit for the next fifteen years.
By the end of 1967, Andrews was the world's most successful film star. She had appeared in the most-watched television special Cinderella; the biggest Broadway musical of its time, My Fair Lady
; the largest-selling long-playing album, the original cast recording of My Fair Lady
; the biggest hit in Disney's history, Mary Poppins
; the highest grossing movie of 1966, Hawaii
; the biggest and second biggest hits in Universal's history, Thoroughly Modern Millie
and Torn Curtain
; and the biggest in 20th Century Fox's history, The Sound of Music
.
Mid-career
Andrews next appeared in two of Hollywood's most expensive and infamous flops: Star!, a 1968 biopic of Gertrude Lawrence
, and Darling Lili
(1970), co-starring Rock Hudson
and directed by her soon-to-be second husband, Blake Edwards
(they married in 1969). The couple stayed married for 41 years until Edwards' death in 2010. She made only two other films in the 1970s, The Tamarind Seed and 10
.
In the 1970s, Edwards and Andrews adopted two daughters; Amy in 1974 and Joanna in 1975. Edwards' children from a previous marriage, Jennifer and Geoffrey, were 3 and 5 years older than Emma, Andrews' daughter with Tony Walton.
Andrews continued working in television. In 1969, she shared the spotlight with singer Harry Belafonte
for an NBC-TV special, An Evening with Julie Andrews and Harry Belafonte. In 1971 she appeared as a guest for the Grand Opening Special of Walt Disney World, and that same year she and Carol Burnett headlined a CBS special, Julie and Carol At Lincoln Center.
In 1972–1973, Andrews starred in her own television variety series, The Julie Andrews Hour
, on the ABC
network. The show won seven Emmy Award
s, but was cancelled after one season. Between 1973 and 1975, Andrews continued her association with ABC by headlining five variety specials for the network. She guest-starred on The Muppet Show
in 1977, and the following year, she appeared again with the Muppets on a CBS television variety special. The program, Julie Andrews: One Step Into Spring, aired in March 1978, to mixed reviews and mediocre ratings. In February 1980, Andrews headlined "Because We Care", a CBS-TV special with 30 major stars raising funds for Cambodian Famine victims.
In 1981, she appeared in Blake Edwards' S.O.B. (1981) in which she played Sally Miles, a character who agrees to "show my boobies" in a scene in the film-within-a-film. That was Andrews's first on-screen nude scene and got much attention as she poked fun at her own squeaky clean image.
In 1983, Andrews was chosen as the Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year
by the Harvard University
theatrical society. The roles of Victoria Grant and Count Victor Grezhinski in the film Victor Victoria earned Andrews the 1983 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, as well as a nomination for the 1982 Academy Award for Best Actress
, her third Oscar nomination.
In December 1987, Andrews starred in an ABC Christmas special, Julie Andrews: The Sound Of Christmas, which went on to win five Emmy Awards. Two years later, she was reunited for the third time with Carol Burnett for a variety special which aired on ABC in December 1989.
In 1991, Andrews made her television dramatic debut in the ABC made-for-TV movie, Our Sons
, co-starring Ann-Margret
. Andrews was named a Disney Legend within the year.
In the summer of 1992 Andrews starred in her first television sitcom, Julie, which aired on ABC
and co-starred James Farentino
. In December 1992 she hosted the NBC
holiday special, Christmas In Washington.
In 1993, she starred in a limited run at the Manhattan Theatre Club
in the American premiere of Stephen Sondheim's
revue, Putting It Together
. Between 1994 and 1995 Andrews recorded two solo albums – the first saluted the music of Richard Rodgers and the second paid tribute to the words of Alan Jay Lerner. In 1995, she starred in the stage musical version of Victor/Victoria
. It was her first appearance in a Broadway show in 35 years. Opening on Broadway on 25 October 1995 at the Marquis Theatre
, it later went on the road on a world tour. When she was the only Tony Award
nominee for the production, she declined the nomination saying that she could not accept because she felt the entire production was snubbed.
Andrews was forced to quit the show towards the end of the Broadway run in 1997 when she developed vocal problems. She subsequently underwent surgery to remove non-cancerous nodules
from her throat and was left unable to sing. In 1999 she filed a malpractice suit against the doctors at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital
, including Dr. Scott Kessler and Dr. Jeffrey Libin, who had operated on her throat. Originally, the doctors assured Andrews that she should regain her voice within six weeks, but Andrews' stepdaughter Jennifer Edwards
said in 1999 "it's been two years, and it [her singing voice] still hasn't returned." The lawsuit was settled in September 2000.
Despite the loss of her singing voice, she kept busy with many projects. In 1998, she appeared in a stage production of Dr. Dolittle in London. As recounted on the Julie Andrews website, she performed the voice of Polynesia the parrot and "recorded some 700 sentences and sounds, which were placed on a computer chip that sat in the mechanical bird's mouth. In the song "Talk To The Animals," Polynesia the parrot even sings."
The next year Andrews was reunited with James Garner for the CBS made-for-TV movie, One Special Night, which aired in November 1999.
In the 2000 New Year's Millennium Honours List, Andrews was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire
(DBE) for services to the performing arts. She also appears at #59 on the 2002 List of "100 Greatest Britons
" sponsored by the BBC
and chosen by the public.
In 2001, Andrews received Kennedy Center Honors
. The same year she reunited with Sound of Music co-star Christopher Plummer
in a live television performance of On Golden Pond
(an adaptation of the 1979 play).
Career revival
In 2001, Andrews appeared in The Princess Diaries, her first Disney film since 1964's Mary Poppins. She starred as Queen Clarisse Marie Renaldi and reprised the role in a sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
(2004). In The Princess Diaries 2, Andrews sang on film for the first time since having throat surgery. The song, "Your Crowning Glory" (a duet with Teen idol Raven-Symoné
), was set in a limited range of an octave to accommodate her recovering voice. The film's music supervisor, Dawn Soler, recalled that Andrews, "nailed the song on the first take. I looked around and I saw grips
with tears in their eyes."
Andrews continued her association with Disney when she appeared as the nanny in two 2003 made-for-television movies based on the Eloise books
, a series of children's books by Kay Thompson
about a child who lives in the Plaza Hotel
in New York City. Eloise at the Plaza
premiered in April 2003, and Eloise at Christmastime
was broadcast in November 2003. The same year she made her debut as a theatre director, directing a revival of The Boy Friend, the musical in which she made her 1954 Broadway debut, at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, New York. Her production, which featured costume and scenic design by her former husband Tony Walton
, was remounted at the Goodspeed Opera House in 2005 and went on a national tour in 2006.

", travelling to promote the celebration, and recording narration and appearing at several events at the park.
In 2004 Andrews performed the voice of Queen Lillian in the animated blockbuster Shrek 2
(2004), reprising the role for its sequels, Shrek the Third
(2007) and Shrek Forever After
(2010). Later, in 2007, she narrated Enchanted, a live-action Disney musical comedy that both poked fun and paid homage to classic Disney films such as Mary Poppins.
In January 2007 Andrews was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Screen Actors Guild
's awards and stated that her goals included continuing to direct for the stage and possibly to produce her own Broadway musical. She published Home: A Memoir of My Early Years
, which she characterised as "part one" of her autobiography, on 1 April 2008. Home chronicles her early years in Britain's music hall
circuit and ends in 1962 with her winning the role of Mary Poppins. For a Walt Disney video release she again portrayed Mary Poppins and narrated the story of The Cat That Looked at a King in 2004.
In July through early August 2008, Andrews hosted Julie Andrews' The Gift of Music, a short tour of the United States where she sang various Rodgers and Hammerstein
songs and symphonised her recently published book, Simeon's Gift. These were her first public singing performances in a dozen years, due to her failed vocal cord surgery.
On 8 May 2009, Andrews received the honorary George and Ira Gershwin Award for Lifetime Achievement in Music at the annual UCLA Spring Sing
competition in Pauley Pavilion
. Receiving the award she remarked, "Go Bruins. Beat SC ... strike up the band to celebrate every one of those victories."
2010–present
In January 2010, for the second consecutive time, Andrews was the official USA presenter of the New Year's Day Vienna concert. Andrews also had a supporting role in the film Tooth Fairy, which opened to unfavourable reviews although the box office receipts were successful. On her promotion tour for the film, she also spoke of Operation USA
and the aid campaign to the Haiti disaster.
On 8 May 2010, Andrews made her London comeback after a 21-year absence (her last performance there was a Christmas concert at the Royal Festival Hall
in 1989). She performed at the O2 Arena
, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
and an ensemble of five performers. Previous to it she appeared on British television (on 15 December 2009 and on many other occasions), and said that rumours that she would be singing were not true. Instead, she said she would be doing a form of "speak singing
". However in the concert she actually sang two solos and several duets and ensemble pieces. The evening, though well received by the 20,000 fans present, who gave her standing ovation after standing ovation, did not convince the critics.
On 18 May 2010, Andrews' 23rd book (this one also written with her daughter Emma) was published. In June 2010 the book, entitled The Very Fairy Princess, reached number 1 on the New York Times Best Seller List for Children's Books.
On 21 May 2010, her film Shrek Forever After
was released; in it Andrews reprises her role as the Queen.
On 9 July 2010, Despicable Me
, an animated movie in which Andrews lent her voice to Marlena, the evil mother of the main character Gru, voiced by Steve Carell
), opened to rave reviews and strong box office.
On 28 October 2010, Andrews appeared, along with the actors who portrayed the cinematic Von Trapp family members, on Oprah to commemorate the film's 45th anniversary. A few days later, her 24th book, Little Bo in Italy, was published.
On 15 December 2010, Andrews' husband Blake Edwards died of complications of pneumonia at the Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California. Andrews was by her husband's side when he died.
In February 2011, Andrews received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award
and, with her daughter Emma
, a Grammy for best spoken word album for children (for A Collection of Poems, Songs and Lullabies), at the 53rd Grammy Awards
ceremony.
