Julie Andrews - Level 4

Julie Andrews, born Julia Elizabeth Wells, was born on October 1, 1935. She lived in a

small town called Walton-on-the-Thames in England, which is south of London. Her
father Ted Wells was a teacher, and mother Barbara was a pianist and piano teacher. She
also played piano for her sister's dancing school. Julie learned ballet and tap as a toddler
from her Aunt Joan Morris. By the time Julie was three, she could read and write. When
Julie was four, her parents divorced, and Barbara married Ted Andrews (a performer
during the war and an excellent tenor). He soon began giving Julie singing lessons. At
seven years of age, Julie had an unbelievable range of four octaves. She soon changed
her last name to "Andrews," the last name of her stepfather.
As she grew older, Julie became one of England's most popular performers. In early
childhood, Julie loved to play with her two younger half-brothers, but soon went on to
stardom. At age twelve, Julie was cast in a London play and stopped the show with her
remarkable talent. She starred in many different BBC productions during the forties.
Later, she starred in many Broadway plays such as The Boyfriend, My Fair Lady, and
Camelot. It was the latter play that Walt Disney made a special trip to New York to see,
and he decided then and there that Julie was perfect for the role of Mary Poppins in the
film of the same name. Mary Poppins was the high-spirited, magical nanny of Jane and
Michael Banks, two small British children. Julie also starred in many other films, such as
The Americanization of Emily, Hawaii, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and my personal
favourite, The Sound of Music. In this production she plays Maria, the lively governess of
Austrian Naval Captain Georg von Trapp's seven children: Liesl, Fredric, Louisa, Kurt,
Brigitta, Marta and Gretl. Another of Julie's talents is writing. Two of her best-known
books are The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles, and Mandy.
Julie also has five children. A daughter, Emma Kate Walton, from her marriage to Tony
Walton; four children from her second marriage to Blake Edwards, two of whom were
from Blake's previous marriage, Jennifer and Geoffrey; and two who were adopted from
Vietnam, Amy and Joanna.
In 1998, tragedy struck Julie. She lost her extraordinary talent for singing due to surgery
on her throat in order to remove a benign tumor.
A year later, she made an attempt to sing again; however, her voice will never be the
same. Julie has recently been on Britain's Royal Honour List and is now a Dame.
