For comments….all you need is a name and a comment….please ignore the rest.
It still saddens me that she can no longer sing. Although she may no longer be able to sing; her legacy will live on for many generations to come, because as you wrote Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music are still very popular.
Hey Good Tiddings….you are 100% correct it is a shame that she can not sing anymore….but as you say her legacy lives on…especially with her movies being classics….thanks for the visit.
I got worried when I didn’t see her voice roles on the first table! It would be nice to compare all of her movies together. I’ve seen nine altogether, which isn’t bad for me for an actress that’s been around since 1949!
I agree 9 is impressive. That has to be near the top when it comes to most movies watched by a performer for you….though I bet Anna Kendrick is already up there too. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Fixed your comments, babe!!!!
Thank you Wife of Cogerson….I have said it before and I will say many more times…..you are awesome.
7 hours later and the comment box is still not working. I have seen 12 of the 21 live action Andrews movies. 5 of the 6 voice role movies….for a tally of 17 Julie Andrews watched. My oldest daughter is at 9.
Comment box is currently not working sorry for the that….it is very frustrating on our end of things too.
