From 'Mary Poppins' to Gru's mean mom in the Despicable Me, Julie Andrews has entertained generations of fans with her artistry and craft. For many, the word 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' will always be a symbol of childhood and what is good and wholesome. Marry Poppins introduced me to the magic of film, I remember at a young age I was in awe when I saw a slightly younger Julie Andrews dance across the screen with animated characters and I was like "Cool". So to now be in front of her and to be in her grace was something special for me. Amazingly, she breaks the mold of anything she has ever done with this character in 'Despicable Me', I get the feeling that she enjoyed doing it. Anyhow, check out the interview....
JULIE ANDREWS (Gru's Mom) has been a beloved and much honored star of stage, screen and television for more than half a century. She was already a Broadway legend when she made her feature film debut in 1964's Mary Poppins. Andrews' iconic performance in the title role of the magical nanny brought her an AcademyAward®,a Golden Globe and a BAFTA.The following year, she earned a second Oscar® nomination and won another Golden Globe Award for her unforgettable portrayal of Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music. She received her third Academy Award® nomination and won another Golden Globe Award for her
"dual" role in Victor Victoria. Today's young film audiences may be more familiar
with Andrews as a queen trying to train her teenage
granddaughter to be a princess in the hit film The
Princess Diaries and its sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: -- 35 --
Royal Engagement. Andrews also voiced the character of Queen Lillian in the blockbuster hits Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third. More recently, she voiced the narration of the hugely successful Disney film Enchanted, The Tooth Fairy and Shrek the Final Chapter.
Her earlier motion picture credits also include The Americanization of Emily, Hawaii, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Star!, Darling Lili and 10, to name only a few.
Andrews was born and raised in England, where she first came to fame as a young musical performer on stage and on radio. She was still in her teens when she made her way across the Atlantic and to Broadway in her 1953 debut in the musical The Boy Friend. She went on to create the role of Eliza Doolittle in Lerner and Loewe's Broadway musical My Fair Lady, which became an instant classic and the longest-running musical of its day. Andrews also won a New York Drama Critics' Circle Award and garnered a Tony Award nomination for her performance. She received another Tony Award nomination in 1961 when she originated the role of Queen Guenevere in the Lerner and Loewe musical Camelot. Thirty-five years later, Andrews returned to Broadway to star in the 1995 stage adaptation of Victor Victoria. Her career came full circle in 2005 when she directed a revival of The Boy Friend, which toured throughout North America.
Andrews has also been honored for her work on television, beginning in 1957 with her Emmy-nominated performance in the title role of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical Cinderella. She later won an Emmy Award for her own musical variety series, The Julie Andrews Hour, and also earned Emmy nominations for Julie and Carol at Lincoln Center (with her "chum" Carol Burnett) and her performance in the special The Sound of Julie Andrews. Andrews' more recent television movies includes One Special Night, with her friend James Garner, Eloise at the Plaza and Eloise at Christmastime, and she reunited with Christopher Plummer in the CBS live production of On Golden Pond.
Andrews, already an accomplished best-selling author (1971's "Mandy," 1974's "The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles"), has joined talents with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton to pursue the publishing of books committed to stimulating a sense of wonder in children and young readers.In addition to her stage and screen work, Andrews has dedicated her life to her family and to serving important causes including Operation USA, an inter- national relief organization with which she has traveled to such places as Vietnam and Cambodia. From 1992 to 2006, Andrews was honored as the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), which provides financial and technical support for low-income women in developing countries.
Andrews received her honors as a Dame of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on New Year's Eve 1999. She was also a 2001 Kennedy Center Honoree.

I think I'd probably burst into tears if I met her. She's someone I grew up watching in movies; she seems so very humble, kind, and down-to-earth. 💙
Hahaha... Only Julie Andrews could pull off the line "deliciously awful"... Man, she's awesome! ^_^
Julie Andrews should be the role model of all current actors and actresses. She is so elegant and so sure of herself, and if the newer generations took a leaf from her book, I'm sure we'd have less celebrities in rehab.
Julie Andrews has inspired me from being a little girl and now I'm 13 and I still look up to her :)

Julie Andrews is the classiest most beautiful granny I've ever witnessed.
I have been in love with her since Mary Poppins. She is without a doubt one of the most decent people in the Entertainment Industry; never mind the fact that she is also one of the most talented singers in the World. Barbra Streisand should envy her!

Omg❤️❤️❤️
Gahh I love her so much!!! :))
Look mom i found Julie Andrews on youtube !
...
Eh !
@AngelaLorraine96 our feelings exactly
okay just enjoy the video we dont have to critics here :)
@CHRITORIC you shouldnt make accusations like that without actual proof, it COULD just be the lighting and makeup
The only insult here, it's you! Judging people about their way to get dressed or whatever you want is a shame for the human race. I say yes to the freedom of speech but it has its limits and instead of posting this kind of critiques, you should keep it to yourself and let people live! "That black guy" (as you say and which show us a kind of racism) doesn't need your stupid opinion...
@CHRITORIC oh, well i guess botox is ok, a face lift is a whole other thing, i figured the only person who could look that amazing at 74 is her
@91ACDC91 she has had a facelift and she has admitted to having botox
Limelight any. More.
@blacktreemedia She does, she does! But I assume she had "something done", as well! Look at her neck! So "clean" at 74? But it's great to see, though her face looks a little bit bloated, at least in this interview
eh
Eh!
She is so funny in this movie!!!
