It does. They were married over 40 years, and really, 'til death do us part, because he died in 2010 still married to her.

How come I can only like a comment once :-)

Catch Me Yes. But he does look like her father & later, her grandfather. She knew he’d go first. I can’t see the attraction.

Love her❤️❤️❤️

+mckavitt I pity you that you can not comprehend her love for her love.

I know, me too.

Absolutely...she is just gorgeous 😍

She might have had ageless beauty, but since she had "work done", we'll never know.

What work? If she's had work done we'll never know because she appears to be all natural even today. She has aged but very well. I dont think she's had any work at all. Look at her now.

@@nicholastroutman5931 What the hell are you talking about? It's pretty obvious she had work done; maybe more than once. It was quite a few years ago--right around the time she stopped looking like herself.

I think some People are God-send. She makes many People feel good❤

Absolutely right. Dame Julie Andrews is quite unique, her example sadly unlikely to be replicated these days!

She is Wonderland, beautiful. tender, sweet, adorable and more...

No wonder people love her.

stacy Ritter I love how it’s the Austrian mountains and then we get this big build up and Maria just sings the hill alive 😉

mlCH08 HC x

I agree wholeheartedly with that!

Right? Just listening to her talking is a delight!

She said she had "an enormous range" when younger, what the hell was that range?

@@chukwudiilozue9171 Well if u listen to her singing Polonaise, she used to sing an F above high C every night. From the low notes, you can hear her do a C below low C. So thats 3 easy Octaves right there. I am sure in practice she would stretch her range more few notes above that and some below. Her teacher had stated she has 4 octaves of solid singing range...not just screaming them out for vanity.

So very well stated!!

Me too :)

A wonderful anecdote, and a memory you probably cherish!

Shams Actually it was a well respected vocal surgeon who botched a routine surgery on her throat that caused her to loose her full singing voice.

yes, but it was the show that caused her vocal problems in the first place. All the glottal growling in the bass clef was the beginning of the end of her crystalline voice.

I had a talk with an otolaryngologist from the Chicago Institute of Voice this past summer. He put specific emphasis on the fact that Julie had a vocal cyst. He said that those are not caused by vocal misuse or anything the singer does.It is a gland that gets clogged just like a blackhead but on the larynx. No one can predict when a cyst will form or when it will cause problems. She could have had it for years until it was so clogged that surgery was performed. He also said that he knew about her case and that vocal rest wouldn't have helped. She needed the surgery which was, for her case, a fairly complicated operation. But the surgeon did make mistakes and it was totally his fault. Most people have the surgery with just a recovery period.

@@dontip222 Ok, then the information has been eschewed or remains unclear what she really had. I was under the impression, that cysts can form from vocal misuse as she may have been the victim of since My Fair Lady (She has mentioned this in interviews), and exacerbated by Victor Victoria. I still believe she was pushing her chords beyond what they were wired to do. She was a coloratura and not a mezzo nor a contralto, which was what the part entailed the singer to be. If you watch her 1993 concerts, you can see her shouting and pushing through notes, yet when she does a tiny bit of coloratura, it is that pristine clear pretty voice we hear from her earlier years...Again I suppose Julie knows this better than anyone.

Shams It was a fairly basic surgery, don’t remember what. But it was so basic in fact, that her vocals getting destroyes wasn’t even a worry.

Yes she is very Gorgeous! How many years older is her husband? He looks many years older than she.

+Courtney Harmon He was 14 years her senior.

the madafaka Haha nice reference!!!

Lol I see what you did there, well put 😂😂😜😜😝😝😝👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Also, he really wanted to defend her against the press.

Blake looks like he had his ears pinned back or made smaller. In later interviews his ears look better.

Fr, you can just see the love in her eyes, and it’s so cute how Blake brags about her taking on the press 🥲

Danielle Urton What a stupid statement to make.

RENOVATIO And why is that?

Danielle Urton Your first sentence is wrong and I hope you know it. There have been many beautiful love stories and I don't think you can really compare them

The first sentence is an obvious use of hyperbole, and I think you know it. And I am sure that there are many other beautiful love stories, and I'm not trying to compare them. I just feel that their relationship is so unique because of how it came about and how it grew into a 41-year love story. Their laughter, their love, the respect they give each other (all things I mentioned in my original comment) are unique to their relationship. That doesn't mean that no other couple in the public eye respected or loved each other this much, it just means that they have a special connection, something that I've never seen before in a Hollywood marriage. That is what made them so rare. And it's so sad that Blake isn't around anymore, but you can still see and feel their love whenever Julie talks about him. That is what I meant. I wasn't knocking anyone else's stories, I just see something special with these two.

Danielle Urton There is nothing more special about them than any other long term couple.

writereducator thanks! I will! Love her!

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind message, so glad you enjoyed it and found it as interesting and humorous as I!

You're very welcome! Julie Andrews is still my crush today!

She's my crush too! 😍

She really is, isn't she

Julie Andrews is a beautiful soul, and she exudes beauty. The interviewer Sir Michael Parkinson is a well respected interviewer and means no harm. The difference is time. In the 70's attitudes were different, there always seemed a harmless underlying banter in most conversations, nothing was usually taken personally like it is today.

@@SimonIngram , what you have said may be fairly accurate. However, Julie, throughout her career, has had to deal with way too many 'how high can you jump?' proddings in interviews. And (even to this day), a male dominated industry is never going to deal with not only the truth of, but also the truth of why this attitude has existed toward this incredible woman, our beloved Julie Andrews.

@@SimonIngram- I think other people just don't understand the British sense of humour. I watch this interview and still can't see anything the least bit amiss. Now if people want to see a real British snide interview just watch the Sue Lawley section, a horrible woman dealt with politely by Julie.

I Agree. She was WONDERFUL in 'Americanization of Emily'. Obviously she has tremendous range as an actress and always did.

Hostile interviewer with a polite tone .What a bitch

I saw this really funny interview we’re Blake said “a friend of Julie and I, once accidentally shut someone’s hand into a car door and Julie and I didn’t like the lady who’s hand got shut into the door, and Julie said ‘too bad it wasn’t her tongue’ .” 😂

Opinions obviously vary, Parky seemed okay to me (and far better than the snarky Sue Lawley later on). At this point Julie was still fresh to the interview business. Later in her career she often went into what I call the 'Ustinov anecdote' mode, using the same phrases and intonations as she told, for example, the helicopter story yet again! Her best interviews in recent years were on the late night Craig Ferguson show which became a joyful witty exchange with someone else with a honed (British) sense of humo(u)r instead of the usual gush-fest.

@@chrisnorton4382 I agree, i assume it’s hard for her because everyone asks about story’s so she has to tell them, I love how there are a few interviews where she is very witty and shows her funny side of you haven’t watched the Julie andrews interview on the jay leno show it’s very funny, it’s on KZfaq just search “julie andrews on jay leno”

And for none of them is their birth surname.

@@joyk2327 Julie's stepfather, maybe he adopted her? Where Eduards came from?

@@anairenemartinez165 stepfather too

Believe I have now done so, any problems let me know.

​@@SimonIngram still without subtitles

@@laryssasilva3861 they seem to be showing now, please let me know if you still can't see them. (you may have to click the subtitles icon)

Elizabeth de Jongh Yes, doesn’t she just!

What do you mean? What did your grandparents do for her?

Maybe what they did wasn't as you see it, families are like that they don't always tell truth.

Your related to her ?

Oh do shut up.

She has said a lot about her aunt helping her learn to dance and helping her when she had issues with her stepfather especially in her book home and homework!
