I don’t actually have a lot of ‘favorite actors or actresses’ but Julie Andrews has to be all time favorite actress. Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, the Princess Diaries (1 & 2), Cinderella… the list just goes on and on. I love the woman!
Mary Poppins is, surprisingly, one of the few Disney movies that I am not very fond of. Julie Andrews is the only thing that even makes it bearable for me. I hate the rest of the cast (aside from Dick Van Dyke even with the terrible cockney accent) and I am just too much of a visual person to let all of that pass by. I love Julie Andrew’s voice and it always amazes me to hear how much trouble she has singing at times (1997 throat operation notwithstanding). 
But Mary Poppins aside, I loved the Sound of Music growing up and when she showed up in the Princess Diaries I was just absolutely smitten. Seeing her as a queen was simply perfect. Fitting, even. And then she voiced the Queen in the Shrek movies! Oh how I squealed when I heard that glorious voice!
As of the time of this post, she is 75 years old and wow does she look amazing. While I am not one to truly fan all over someone, I have a feeling that the day Dame Julia Elizabeth Andrews leaves this earth… I will be in tears. May that day be far, far away.
Stay Classy, Internets.
