Over her impressive seven-decade career, Julie Andrews has graced the stage and screen with numerous memorable roles. However, none are more iconic than her portrayal of Mary Poppins, the beloved character from the Walt Disney film directed by Robert Stevenson. The film, released in 1964, earned Andrews the Academy Award for Best Actress.

In a candid interview with Vanity Fair, Andrews shared her deep connection to the role of Mary Poppins, revealing that it was the music that initially captivated her. Growing up in England, Andrews was exposed to the English vaudeville style. The whimsical songs and enchanting melodies of Mary Poppins resonated with her fond memories of the vibrant performances she had witnessed as a young girl.

The costume design also played a significant role in Andrews’ understanding of the magical qualities of Mary Poppins. Her then-husband, Tony Walton, designed the iconic nanny’s outfits, which featured fun fabrics on the inside and a more formal exterior. This combination perfectly captured the character’s essence—a touch of mischief hidden beneath a polished exterior.

The success of Mary Poppins paved the way for Andrews’ illustrious film career, which included starring roles in classics like The Sound of Music (1965) and Victor/Victoria (1982). Apart from her film achievements, she continued to shine on Broadway with performances in musicals such as My Fair Lady (1956) and Camelot (1960).
