Julie Andrews?

Question

I was told Julie Andrews has a foul mouth. That isn't true, is it?

Answer 1

Her husband said she is, and I've seen her do a 'thing' in an interview about 'salting in a few undesirables' when addressing her children. See explains that she is British and not as puritanical as we Yanks.

Dame Julie's career is said to have suffered from typecasting, as her two most famous roles (in Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music) cemented her image as a "sugary sweet" personality best known for working with children. Her roles in Blake Edwards' films could be seen as an attempt to break away from this image: In 10, her character is a no-nonsense career woman; in Victor/Victoria, she plays a woman pretending to be a man (who is working as a female impersonator); and, perhaps most notoriously, in S.O.B., she plays a character very similar to herself, who agrees (with some pharmaceutical persuasion) to "show my boobies" in a scene in the film-within-a-film. For this last performance, late night television host Johnny Carson thanked Andrews for "showing us that the hills were still alive", alluding to her most famous line from the title song of The Sound of Music.

December 16, 2004 - For the 40th anniversary of Mary Poppins, Disney has decided ... in the film) was that Andrews had a surprisingly foul mouth on the set

Answer 3

Julie Andrews and The Sound of Music have epitomized my idea of what a perfect world is like. Several years after seeing the movie several times my Sweetie and I visited Saltzburg and the home of the Von Trapp Family as well as Leopold's Scrone that was depicted as the home of The Von Trapp Family. I took a picture of the ornate wrought iron gate near the lake where the home was located and always intended to have a similar gate made for our yard. That was an idea that has not become a reality for me but, I have not given up on it quite yet. While in Saltzburg we also visited Mozart's birthplace as well as the Cathedral where his father was in charge of music. In the late thirties or early forties my parents were fortunate enough to see a performance of the Von Trapp Family Singers in Beaumont, Texas. I am, I think, more than just a fan of Julie Andrews, based on her performance in The Sound of Music. To me, this movie is another instance of God whispering to us that he still loves us.
