JULIE ANDREWS – 87 YEARS OLD

In the late ‘40s, Julie Andrews started a career playing in the West End when she eventually found her way to Broadway in her 1954 debut show, The Boy Friend. She became famous and successful that she was dubbed to be Britain’s youngest prima donna. So much so, that Andrews earned again the lead role of Maria von Trapp in the motion picture, The Sound of Music. For her performances, she was recognized and took credits for her contribution to both films. Also, she just recently made a cameo appearance in the 2018 film, Mary Poppins Returns.

She had problems with her throat in the 1990s, and Julie Andrews had to say goodbye to her singing career after having her tumor removed in 1997. Unfortunately, for some reason during the operation, her vocal cords were damaged. At 85 years old, Julie Andrews is still active on the big screen, and last year she won the 76th Venice International Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award.
