JULIE ANDREWS – ACTING/NARRATING

Julie Andrews’ career can be described as colorful, successful, and lengthy. She began her singing career as a child actor and made her debut on Broadway in 1954’s The Boy Friend. Her first experience working on-screen was in the television musical Cinderella, which gained her an Emmy Award nomination. Probably one of her most notable performances on the big screen is as Mary Poppins in Disney’s film of the same name. Her work on the film earned her an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Grammy Award. She soon went on to star in numerous blockbuster hits including the 1965 highest-grossing film The Sound of Music opposite Christopher Plummer. She played the role of Maria von Trapp and was able to make good use of her songbird voice.

Unfortunately, in 1997 Andrew lost her singing voice to a botched surgery. She has never regained her four-octave soprano voice. However, this has not stopped her from achieving greatness. Hopefully, she was able to invest in good medical insurance back then. Her most recent work is in the Netflix series Bridgerton where she lends her voice as a narrator.
