@@josue24Well, she had her tonsils removed in early 1960, when she was just 24 years old (born on 1935.10.1), for the excessive work pressure on Broadway and in West End; however, not long after that she began to rehearsal the next musical. When she was "found" (not precise though, because she had been very famous in the stage musical field) by Walt Disney, she was pregnant, but still performing her musical on stage-- two hours a night, many performances a week… In Hollywood, she made extraordinary success (broke box office' record, just as broke the performances' record on Broadway before), but was stereotyped, and how huge her success was often ignored by today's people, especially fans in movie circle-- till today, she IS stereotyped. Returning Broadway, "Putting it Together" (1993. I especially love her version of "Getting Married Today") wasn't known by many people; she lost her singing voice for excessive pressure in old age of playing "Victor/Victoria" (1995) in 1997… Many people (even herself) thought she was lucky, but I just want to say, what she had paid and even sacrificed, deserves much more fame, recognition and fair judge by today's people.
It’s Dame Julie Andrews! Queen Elizabeth II declared her Dame Commander of the British Empire many years ago.

In the behind the scenes for the first Princess Diaries 2, Julie was singing during one part of the movie, in a way that she could actually do (she had had the surgery on her throat that made it difficult to sing, but told the producers she could sort of do it if the notes weren't too high, etc), pretty much everyone on and off the set were streaming tears because they thought she would never be able to sing anything ever again.

Probably the most uplifting presence on the silver screen, that's what they used to call it, young ones.
She is will ALWAYS be remembered as being “perfect in every way”. How blessed as we to have such a talent as her. 🧐😉

it can bring anyone to tears. I have sung all my life and it would be hard to not tear up a little every day because you just can't sing anymore. Whether she can only sing a few notes or what, she lost the voice that gave her the power to express herself. That's probably what brings her down more than anything else.
Wow crazy that she is 84 years old... she’s a queen!
She's so classy and cool... I love her. I love the way she speaks.
Iam 57 years old and this made me cry.The original Mary Poppins was the first movie I saw in the theater when My family and I migrated to what’s my home now the US, my home. I was 4 yrs old but I remembered like it was yesterday. Beautiful memories. Cheers to Julie Andrews. May she always be blessed....
I love her so much, God bless her.
I've got tears in my eyes. She was my childhood idol and absolutely love Ms. Julie

Julie Andrews is brilliant, a creative genius to the tiniest details. She invented Mary Poppins Feet out making MP proper & perfect in every way! Julie is a treasure, she inspires. So beautiful
Ugh you can see how much she misses singing . How tragic
This just made me insanely happy the second I saw Julie
A true queen! 💯 Real lady!
Absolute legend. Will forever be Maria to me. What an incredible woman.

Wow! A Living Legend whose performances were always (and still are) magnificent. What a privilege to have interviewed her.
Was, is, and always will be fabulous.
She's still one of my favorite things 😍.
I love Julie Andrews. She's a perfect actress, none like her anymore
I've always loved her ever since The Sound of Music. She is the one who inspired me to start singing.
A voice that you would recognise anywhere, any time......all time favourite
Julie Andrews embodies a genuine persona that is beautiful inside and out. Doris Day and Audrey Hepburn are also actresses with this quality.
The epitome of class act, elegance, sophistication and a true actress 👏🏻🙌
I love Julie so much. She's so sweet and down to earth. Not to mention, insanely talented and to this day, so beautiful. 💛💜
Ms Julie Andrews starred in some of the most iconic movies in each decade, The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins and Princess Diaries and she is just one of the world's FAVOURITE actress. When she sings its like a ray of light brightening up your day and that twinkle in her eyes and her smile is pure magic. and decades on her movies will still be iconic. Touching lives all across the globe including Asia. Thank you for this video.
Miss Julie is a World Icon ! She transcends all others and has a place few occupy. Pure talent and a humble spirit.
She's a legend, actresses nowadays can't do a single second on screen the way she's done for decades.

phenomenal. just phenomenal.
That last song is not correctly placed by GMA...it may seem like its from her youth, its not...she was in her 40s...from her concert in London with the prestigious London Symphony, arranged by Andre Previn, very complex piece to sing....also she sang it again in the 90s also in London, same arrangement. And btw Julie, your too modest, thats not high for you, you sang high B-flats and Cs like no tomorrow.

When I was a child in the 60's, my father had a Julie Andrews/Andre Previn Christmas album with this same Jingle Bells song, which I listened to over & over again every Christmas season. I hope I can still find this album in CD, as it is purely exquisite for the holidays. Amazing as a child, she sang for the King, TV star in Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella", a young Broadway star in "Camelot" and "My Fair Lady", won Best Actress Oscar in her first movie, "Mary Poppins" and a beloved eternal treasure in "Sound of Music". Also love her in "Thoroughly Modern Millie".
She’s so wonderful!
She is narrating the Audiobook!! I’ll buy the book but the audio is a MUST! Love her so much. 😍
I loved watching Mary Poppins and the Sound of Music as a kid in the 80's, Julie carried both of those films beautifully. If I could ever meet Julie, I'd mention how much her portrayal of Mary Poppins melted my heart as much as the character did to that of Mr Banks.
Simply beautiful loved her especially Mary Poppins brilliant love her singing Amazing
So many emotions, I cant stop the tears from falling how much julie meant to my childhood. Mary Poppins and the sound of music filled my soul with such joy and happiness. Music was my escape from my surroundings. Her voice carried me there . The lil girl in me is clapping her hands and dancing. Thank you julie! 💗😘

Julie has always shocked me at how elegant she is.that’s the first word I thought of when I first ever saw her.She is what I would envision a princess to be like. Her way of handling things in such a graceful way. It is so refreshing especially sense it’s so hard to find people with so much fame that are so humble. She is just such a treasure.
I don't understand how a lady can mantain such timeless elegance and beauty.
Absolutely love this woman
Her voice is my childhood. She is a treasure.
She is so wonderful!

Oh that was perfect... I was in tears watching her listening to that song Jingle Bells...oh such an angelic voice. Love you forever Julie...you " will sing once more!"

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this second memoir for years. Her first, ‘Home’ is one of my favorites. Julie is forever.
She has made the world better.
I am crying right now...my heart broke at 5:52....this woman is an inspiration... and 'her eyes as blue as the azure sky, has depth of the deepest ocean, has warmth and love enough to heal the whole world'....I have read her memoirs but listening it from her makes me realize even more that she has lead such a tough life...always taking care of others...always there for others and as Emma put it "I have never known a more resilient woman in my life".....she is the epitome of optimism, hope and everything positive even when she was fighting her own battles personally, she always gave the world so much joy and happiness..Dame Julie says she is lucky but i say that infact it is us who are lucky to have lived during the times of Dame Julie Andrews....i hope she received all the love that she deserved...much more love and good health to her..love always ❤️ ❤️
She is an amazing women!! She will always be royalty in my eyes!
Julie Andrews will always and forever be my favourite actress! Just love her as a person too. Such a kind, gentle and witty lady! Love your work, your adored by everyone!!! ❤️❤️

Almost like an endearing grandmother who’d bake cookies and sing you to sleep. Still love her to this day, and when I have children, I’m certainly introducing them to her greatness.
