| so she actually has an EGAD! Maybe even rarer than an EGOT. But sure, I adore Julie Andrews and wish her a belated Happy Birthday. Her landmark Broadway career and support for the theatrical community over the years would justify a special career award. That would make her a TEGAD (since folks tend to include Barbra Streisand's honorary Tony in her EGOT which doesn't include a competitive win). I think folks would have loved to have given her a competitive Tony finally for "Victor/Victoria" years ago, but for her speech when she decided to protest that other people from that production not being nominated pretty much cost her winning that award. However, many folks who have won Tony awards over the years aren't remembered and/or go on to big careers, which won't be the case with Julie Andews, not when "Mary Poppins", "The Sound of Music" and the OCRs of her Broadway shows will most likely continue to be enjoyed for generations -- even without getting that competitive Tony trophy. |
