Julie Andrews
With a mantlepiece that includes an Oscar, a BAFTA, two Emmys, six Golden Globes, Dame Julie Andrews is pure showbiz and into her ninth decade of performing as of 2023. The Boy Friend, Cinderella, Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music...and that just gets us to 1965! Excellent diction, great posture, girl-next-door (if you live in a quaint Cumberland village) looks and absolute pitch - any one of these can be a secret to success, but she had them all. Doors opened everywhere she went. A consummate professional, she put in the work, studied and perfected each role, learned every tune and lyric, gave it her all. One of the remarkable talents of the twentieth century!
