Essential Albums
- The 1964 film Mary Poppins featured a modern mix of live-action and animation—and the music was just as revolutionary. Those sing-along numbers that enchanted children delivered deeper messages. Tucked between the fanciful fun of “A Spoonful of Sugar” and the tongue-tangling “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” are tunes about feminism (“Sister Suffragette”) and fiscal responsibility (“Fidelity Fiduciary Bank”). Of course, the heart of this soundtrack is everyone’s favorite nanny, and Julie Andrews’ youthful voice is magic. Pair that with Bert’s cockeyed Cockney accent and you get movie musical perfection.

About Julie Andrews
Gifted with a flawless, four-octave soprano voice, English singer and actor Julie Andrews began performing as a child, joining her musical family as they entertained troops during World War II. ∙ The Queen of England was in the audience when Andrews made her first solo appearance at London’s Stage Door Canteen at age 11, performing a piece from the opera Mignon. ∙ Praise for her Broadway debut in the 1954 musical The Boy Friend led to her Tony-nominated breakout role as Eliza Doolittle in the original production of My Fair Lady. ∙ Theater legends Rodgers & Hammerstein agreed to write the 1957 TV musical Cinderella—the most-viewed broadcast in history when it aired—only because she was its star. ∙ She won her only Oscar for the title role of the 1964 classic Mary Poppins, which she initially turned down because she was pregnant when Walt Disney first approached her. ∙ The iconic soundtrack for the 1965 film The Sound of Music spent two years in the Pop Top 10, and her performance as Maria von Trapp earned Andrews a Golden Globe. ∙ Though it lasted for only a single season, her critically acclaimed 1972 variety show, The Julie Andrews Hour, picked up an impressive seven Emmy Awards. ∙ Her career-revitalizing role as Queen Clarisse Renaldi in 2001’s The Princess Diaries came just a year after she was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire. ∙ Two of her books—Home: A Memoir of My Early Years and The Very Fairy Princess, a children’s story written with her daughter—topped The New York Times Best Seller list. ∙ The American Film Institute, Grammy Awards, and Screen Actors Guild have all honored her with Lifetime Achievement Awards.
