Date of Birth : Oct 1st 1935

Award-winning English actress, singer, author and cultural icon. She is the recipient of Golden Globe, Emmy, Grammy, BAFTA, People’s Choice Award, Theatre World Award, Screen Actors Guild and Academy Award honors. Andrews rose to prominence after starring in Broadway musicals such as My Fair Lady and Camelot, as well as musical films like Mary Poppins (1964) and The Sound of Music (1965).

Andrews performed spontaneously and unbilled on stage with her parents for about two years beginning in 1945. “Then came the day when I was told I must go to bed in the afternoon because I was going to be allowed to sing with Mummy and Pop in the evening,” Andrews explained. She would stand on a beer crate to reach the microphone and sing while her mother played piano, sometimes a solo or as a duet with her stepfather. “It must have been ghastly, but it seemed to go down all right.”

In 1956, she appeared in the Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner musical My Fair Lady as Eliza Doolittle, opposite Rex Harrison’s Henry Higgins. The show was a musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion and became the smash hit of the decade. Andrews was a sensation.

Before My Fair Lady, Andrews had auditioned for but not received a part in the Richard Rodgers play Pipe Dream. Rodgers wanted her for “Pipe Dream” but advised her to take the part in “My Fair Lady” if she was offered it, rather than the part in “Pipe Dream”. Rodgers was so impressed with Andrews’ talent that, concurrent with her run in My Fair Lady, Andrews was featured in the Rodgers and Hammerstein television musical, Cinderella. Cinderella was broadcast live on CBS on March 31, 1957 and attracted an estimated 107 million viewers.
