I'm sure SOMEONE has at one point - she couldn't have never met another human being in her life. :)


And no, I haven't.

Yes, I've met her several times before at award shows, galas and parties and she has always been very warm, kind and gracious.

I got a letter from her once - does that count? She was very warm in the letter. It was a response to a piece of fan mail I sent her after seeing her in Putting It Together.

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be a "smart @$$." And it's not like me answering with a joke will waste space for someone who HAS met Julie Andrews. I actually would like to know how she is in person, though I'm sure she's a wonderful person. Seriously, can anyone picture Julie Andrews as a bitter woman? Just doesn't work for me.

Jam_Man, you have to admit, it would be really funny if she just went home at night, lit a pack of cigarettes (yes, all at once), and said, "these freakin theatre geeks are driving me up a wall. Wadsworth! Where's my facial kit and my evening chai?!" haha, not saying she's like that at all, but wouldn't it be funny if it was all just an act?

I hold a degree in Musical Theatre from Montclair State University. It is useless. Now I'm funny for money. Oh, and I sing.

I met her after VICTOR/VICTORIA and at a little bookstore downtown last fall when she had a book signing. She's very sweet.

I met her in 1983. She was in the audience of a performance that I was a part of. After the performance there was a dinner in the upstairs lobby of the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. I flipped out when I saw her. I stayed at her table chatting with she and Blake Edwards and never went to my table.

I met her again in Chicago a few years ago. She came to speak at Benedictine University. After the lecture everyone was invited to get her autograph. I asked her about film of Camelot and she said that except for Ed Sullivan there is nothing. Darn it!

A friend of mine actually said that she can't stand Julie Andrews! WTF?! I could understand not caring one way or the other; but to flat out not like the woman?! It's Julie Andrews!

I used to do a perfect (singing) Julie Andrews in high school, but then as my voice matured and was trained, the texture changed and I can't do it anymore.
