Something wrong?She made nannies fly and nuns sing their way over Alps, and for that the world gave her an Oscar and never quite let go. Four decades on, the voice and the scaffolding still land.

, Does Mary Poppins have an orgasm? Does she go to the bathroom? I assure you, she does.
I think of part of myself as a very passionate person, but I don't think that comes across. I don't know where it comes from, that reserve or veneer of British niceness.
As you become older, you become less judgmental and take offense less. But marriage is hard work; the illusion that you get married and live happily ever after is absolute rubbish.

Born Julia Elizabeth Wells on 1 October 1935, Andrews was a child performer who hit the West End at twelve and Broadway at nineteen in The Boy Friend (1954). Billed as "Britain's youngest prima donna," she became Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady (1956) and Guinevere in Camelot (1960), then crossed to film as Mary Poppins (1964) and won the Academy Award. The Sound of Music (1965) made her one of the biggest box office draws of the sixties. She worked through the next two decades with Blake Edwards, Alfred Hitchcock, and George Roy Hill, then returned in The Princess Diaries (2001) and voiced roles in Shrek and Despicable Me. Queen Elizabeth made her a Dame in 2000, and she's spent the years since writing memoirs and voicing Lady Whistledown in Bridgerton.
