I aspire to be Julie Andrews when I grow up.
Since was about 4 years old, I've known a few things to be undeniable truths of the universe. The
Earth revolves around the sun, socks disappear in the dryer, and Julie
Andrews is automatically, without doubt or argument, cooler than everyone else currently or posthumously residing on this planet. She’s practically
perfect in every way. Here are some of those ways:
1. She has a sound stage on the Walt Disney Studios Lot named after her. This sound stage will be celebrating its 14th anniversary this year. It’s the place where Julie (we wish we were on a first name basis) filmed both Mary Poppins and The Princess Diaries.
2. She was the voice of the nightly Disneyland Fireworks Spectacular during the Park's 50th Anniversary Celebration, and became the Disneyland Resort Ambassador for the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This brings joy and delight to all, as only Julie and her accent could.
3. She played Queen Clarisse Rinaldi of Genovia. They probably had to invent a fake country for the movie just so they didn’t intimidate queens of real (and less Julie-esque) countries. And she played the part with class, white gloves, and a tiara.
4. She looks cool in all outfits. Even this hat and borderline bow tie.
5. She’s good at so many things that she’s actually the one making the whistling sound of this bird (the first audio-animatronic bird to be used in a film):
6. She makes carousel horses look classy and spectacular, while riding side saddle yet.
(As only a true lady can.)
7. She makes sliding up banisters look effortless.
8. She makes this face, which seems to say “I’m intelligent, graceful, and cooler than you are” all with an air of humility.
(Especially in a tiara!)
9. Somehow she manages to convey all the emotions of Mary Poppins leaving (because the wind changed) with a single look. And she makes talking to an umbrella look totally normal.
10. She’s in this picture, which we’re pretty sure is one of the best things ever to be committed to film.
We rest our (impeccably mannered, British) case.
(Cue "Feed the Birds".)
