Andrews has been a legend of stage and screen for over eight decades, from her luminous first appearance on Broadway starring in The Boy Friend, to creating the role of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady; to her film debut as the titular beloved character in Disney’s Mary Poppins, for which she won a Bafta, Golden Globe and an Academy Award for this iconic role, and her iconic musical turn in screen classic The Sound Of Music, which turns 60 this year.
