Julie Andrews

British actress, singer and author (born 1935)

In the history of film, Julie Andrews is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Julie Andrews as British actress, singer and author (born 1935).

Julie Andrews was born at Walton-on-Thames in 1935. Her recorded nationality is the United Kingdom. She was educated at Arts Educational Schools and Tring Park School for the Performing Arts.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

Julie Andrews is described as actor, singer and writer.

Julie Andrews is associated first and foremost with collaborations with Carol Burnett, including television specials in 1962, 1971, and 1989. Cinema keeps its people visible long after the industry that produced them has changed shape.

The surviving body of work includes Mary Poppins and Cinderella.

Her recorded fields of work are musical theater.

Formal recognition came in the shape of the Academy Award for Best Actress (1965), Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (1999) and Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2011).

That the work was done from the United Kingdom matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
