Overview
- Julie Andrews marked her 90th birthday on October 1, 2025.
- She became a global icon with Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for Mary Poppins.
- A 1997 throat surgery ended her professional singing, prompting a reinvention that includes acclaimed narration on Netflix’s Bridgerton and voice roles in the Shrek and Despicable Me films, as well as co-authored books.
- Her range extended beyond family classics through boundary-pushing collaborations with director Blake Edwards, notably the hit Victor/Victoria.
- Former Sound of Music co-stars offered warm remembrances, and the remaining von Trapp cast plan a Salzburg 60th‑anniversary gala in October, with Andrews not expected to attend.
