Born October 1, 1935 in Walton-on-Thames. British film, stage and musical actress. Real name Julia Elizabeth Wells. Her clear, beautiful four-octave voice and acting ability made her a musical star. She began singing in public at the age of 10, joining music hall shows performed by her mother, a pianist, and her stepfather, a singer. She made her debut as a solo singer in London in 1947. In 1954, she made her Broadway debut. In 1956, she played the lead role of Eliza in the musical classic My Fair Lady, which was highly praised. Although she missed out on the role when it was made into a film in 1964, she made her film debut in Walt Disney's Mary Poppins in the same year, winning an Academy Award for Best Actress. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Maria, the governess, in The Sound of Music (1965). As traditional musical films began to decline in popularity in the late 1960s, she took on a wider range of roles, and in 1970, she was again in the spotlight as a supporting actress in the comedy Ten (1979), directed by Blake Edwards, whom she married in 1979. She was again nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Edwards' Victor/Victoria (1982). In 2000, she was made a Dame. Andrews |
