Mary Poppins Sings Again okay..im sure most of you dont care about this..but, with all the bad news in the world today...it was sorta nice to see this: http://www.imdb.com/PeopleNews/#1 Legendary soprano Julie Andrews will sing in new movie The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement - the first time since a throat operation in 1997 silenced her. The Sound Of Music star, who once boasted a four-octave vocal range, was forced to quit her role in Broadway show Victor/Victoria in the mid 1990s when she began having voice trouble. She underwent surgery to remove non-cancerous nodules, but was left without her singing voice. Andrews, 68, has since sung briefly on TV specials in America - but she stunned cast and crew on the new film, by almost recapturing her full voice, to perform a rendition of song "Your Crowning Glory." The film's musical supervisor Dawn Soler says, "She's everything you want Julie Andrews to be - she's such a professional. She nailed the song on the first take. I looked around and I saw grips with tears in their eyes." The original 2001 Princess Diaries starred Anne Hathaway as a schoolgirl who inherits the throne of a small European country and is trained to be a princess by her grandmother (Andrews).

That's awesome...Julie Andrews is the consummate sweetheart. Some of her movies might be a little sickly sweet for my tastes, but how can ya not love her? | |

Ex-Moderator | I was lucky enough to see the first performance of Victor/Victoria. They did a week of "sneak preview" shows in Mpls before it opened on Broadway. She was absolutely stunning! |
