Julie Andrews on 'Mary Poppins' role
In 2022, Andrews also reflected on her big-screen debut in the Walt Disney smash 'Mary Poppins', for which she won the Best Actress Oscar.
She said to Vanity Fair, "It was a brand new thing in my life that I'd never done before. It was for Walt Disney, of course, and the songs in Mary Poppins had a kind of Vaudeville quality to them."
She added, "I think it's what attracted me to the role, because all that kind of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and Jolly Holiday music was very much like the kind of things that you hear in English vaudeville."

Andrews became well-known for her roles in popular Broadway musicals, such as 'My Fair Lady' in 1956 and 'Camelot' in 1960. She kept landing highly sought-after parts after that, most recently providing the voice of Lady Whistledown, the narrator of the two seasons of the Netflix series 'Bridgerton'.
In a previous interview with Entertainment Tonight, Andrews dispelled rumors that she would appear on screen.
"No, no, no," she responded when asked if there is a possibility. "You know who Lady Whistledown really is, so I'm afraid it stays with me in the background. But I'm very happy to do that."
Notably, Andrews also provided the voices of Marlena in the 'Despicable Me' series and Queen Lillian in the 'Shrek' franchise.
