If ever someone embodied grace and propriety in every word spoken, it is Julie Andrews. So when she is swearing like a sailor, it sounds at once hilarious in its uncharacteristic nature and more classy than such words have any right to - such is the power of Julie Andrews.

Her colleagues over the years have heard some colorful language that's surprisingly characteristic of the actress / Everett Collection RELATED: Julie Andrews: 70 Years of Her Favorite Things 1951 to 2021 “My favorite memory of working with Julie Andrews, and I think the best memory, is whenever she would curse,” Hathaway shared. “It was delightful! I would feel terrible, but I would kind of pray for her to flub lines.” To hear Andrews talk about it, she might enter a kind of trance or fire them off as instinctively as breathing. She counters, “It depends what cursing you mean. When did I do that? I’m sorry, but I’m out to lunch about swearing, I guess.” When filming Mary Poppins, however, she did let fly some strong language, understandably, after equipment for a flying stunt saw Andrews dropped while performing. “I have to admit, I let fly a stream of colorful expletives,” she admitted in her 2019 memoir, Home Work.
