Often in NY I’ve met celebrities who disappoint with their “true” personalities upon exit from the theater, not Julie. She was gracious to everyone who wanted to say hello and extend well wishes. She is impeccable and radiates in person similar, but unlike what you see on the screen, it was so much more in person. It’s truly an honor meeting someone of her caliber. Not many I would say that about in the entertainment industry. (ask about my Dennis Leary story sometime - eek!)

Last night I saw the Lincoln Center performance of Camelot and all of Julie’s qualities came rushing back into my memory of listening to her as a child growing up.

I’m glad you found such inspiration from a woman who refuses to be a victim to anyone or anything and who continues to entertain, inspire and bring enrichment to all our lives through her performances and individuality.

Cheers!

But she sings this darkly beautiful song that goes something like “take me back home, my darling…”… She reprises the song toward the end of the movie, and the ghosts of some of the fighting men appear nearby. That has had me as close to crying over a movie as anything I have ever seen. And I believe Julie Andrews is the only one who could do that role.

You should include a wiki link for Julie Andrews herself. (Not everyone is that familiar with her)

Also, I love her post-TSOM films, like “Thoroughly Modern Millie” (a real gem of a film with Carol Channing and Mary Tyler Moore) and of course my penultimate fave “Victor/Victoria,” which gave me the first inkling of my orientation.
