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.

Not too many people of younger generations might know who Judy Garland is if not for "The Wizard of Oz", and some of them just might refer to her as "Dorothy". People who watch holiday films might know "Meet Me in St. Louis" but it's not of the same iconic renown by non-classic movie buffs. Andrews' two huge films do exist, as does Streisand's "Funny Girl". The latter's "A Star is Born" is now way in the past, supplanted by the latest one by Lady Gaga, which is already 5 years old and not iconic either (as in, shown annually like "The Sound of Music" is on broadcast tv).
