Julie Andrews, a Hollywood legend, has made a rare public appearance, sparking nostalgia and admiration from fans. Known for her iconic roles in films like “Mary Poppins” and “The Sound of Music,” Andrews has been a significant figure in the industry.

Growing up in a family of vaudeville artists, she developed a passion for performing early on. Her portrayal of Mary Poppins earned her an Academy Award, and she reflected on the role: “The songs in Mary Poppins had a kind of Vaudeville quality to them… it attracted me to the role.”

“Mary Poppins” became a record-breaking success, receiving 13 Academy Award nominations and dominating the box office in 1964. Andrews credited her ex-husband, Tony Walton, for influencing Mary Poppins’ character design, describing it as “formal on the outside and a little bit wicked on the inside.”

While Andrews recently provided the voice for Netflix’s “Bridgerton” series as Lady Whistledown, she ruled out appearing on camera again, stating, “No, you know who Lady Whistledown really is, so I’m afraid it stays with me in the background. But I’m very happy to do that.”

Fans got a glimpse of the 87-year-old actress at a farmers’ market in The Hamptons, where she appeared elegant and walked with a cane. Her traditional style and warm smile continue to captivate audiences.
