Description
Dame Julia "Julie" Elizabeth Andrews, DBE, (née Wells; born 1 October 1935)[1] is an English film and stage actress, singer, author, theatre director and dancer. Andrews, a former child actress and singer, appeared on the West End in 1948, and made her Broadway debut in a 1954 production of The Boy Friend. She rose to prominence starring in musicals such as My Fair Lady and Camelot, both of which earned her Tony Award nominations
She made her feature film debut in Mary Poppins (1964), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress and was nominated in 1965 for her role in The Sound of Music.
She returned to prominence with the critical and commercial successes of 10 (1979) and Victor Victoria (1982), receiving a third Academy Award nomination for the latter.
In 1995, she starred in the stage musical version of Victor/Victoria. It was her first appearance in a Broadway show in 35 years. Opening on Broadway on 25 October 1995 at the Marquis Theatre, it later went on the road on a world tour. When she was the only Tony Award nominee for the production, she declined the nomination saying that she could not accept because she felt the entire production was snubbed.
Andrews was forced to quit the show towards the end of the Broadway run in 1997 when she developed hoarseness in her voice. She emerged from throat surgery with permanent damage that destroyed the purity of her singing and gave a rasp to her speaking voice.
