I was just making the point that, despite a 30 year career as a Hollywood leading lady, Andrews is largely remembered for just those two early films. I wonder if you asked a bunch of regular people to name a Julie Andrews film that's not MARY POPPINS or THE SOUND OF MUSIC, what most people would say? You might get some VICTOR/VICTORIA, but I imagine that, depending on the age of the person, it's likely that the most popular answer would be THE PRINCESS DIARIES.
I'm not saying that she hasn't been in a lot of terrific films...just that most of them are largely forgotten today. |
