We would like to wish a happy birthday to Dame Julie Andrews! A longtime star of both stage and screen, Andrews is probably best known for her appearances in two of the most beloved musical films ever made: Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. Mary Poppins was actually her first time acting in a film, however this did not stop her from winning an Oscar for Best Actress for her role as the titular character. Before her film career, Andrews was a highly successful stage actor, starring in My Fair Lady and Camelot. She made several appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show over the years, her most memorable being a March 1961 tribute to the team that helped her rise to the top, librettist Alan Jay Lerner and composer Frederick Loewe.
