Born On This Day- October 1st... Julia Elizabeth Wells



I detest The Sound Of Music, the movie & the play. Unusual, because I like most musicals. It just rings false to me & is shameless treacle. I was in it once, on stage in summer stock (I played a party guest & an off-stage nun) & I took to calling it The Slime Of Mucus. That being said, I love, love love Julie Andrews. Check out her acting chops in The Americanization Of Emily. I know it is a bit of a mess, but I love her as Gertrude Lawrence in Star!. Dame Julie Elizabeth Andrews has been awarded a Golden Globe, Emmy, Grammy, BAFTA, Theatre World Award, SAG & Academy Award. Her voice spanned four octaves until it was damaged by a throat operation in 1998.She turns an astonishing 74 today
