Julie Andrews, best known for her nostalgic roles in The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins, recently turned 87 years old. Julie opened up about how she celebrated such an incredible birthday and revealed that she felt very loved after her birthday celebrations were over.
Julie shared, “It was an absolutely wonderful weekend. I had family at my house, and then the next night, we all went out. And so many well wishes and cards and things like that. I was very moved by it all.” While Julie may be in her late 80s, she certainly isn’t slowing down her career.
Julie currently narrates the popular Netflix show Bridgerton and recently voiced the character of Gru’s mom in the movie Minions: The Rise of Gru. She is also working with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton on some children’s books. She admitted that the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns gave them a chance to really get some work done together on the books.
In a recent interview, Julie also opened up about meeting the late Queen Elizabeth II. She said, “I met her and I sang for her at two Royal Command Performances for Her Majesty for a very, very good cause. The first one I did when I was 13. … I was honored to be made a Dame by her (in 2000), which was quite extraordinary. I have really lovely memories and I’m a great royalist. She worked so very, very hard and was very dedicated.”
It is so great to hear that Julie is doing well and had a wonderful 87th birthday!
