One of the most active actors in her generation is Julie Andrews. There is no denying her impact on the Hollywood industry.
The actress has hardly been spotted in public recently. But everyone is expressing the same sentiment in response to her most recent public appearance…
Julie Andrews’ parents were vaudeville artists, thus she was raised in a world full with entertainment. Early on, she demonstrated an interest in performing, and eventually went on to achieve great achievements and leave a lasting impression on the acting industry. For her portrayal of Mary Poppins, she received an Academy Award.
The actress said of the role and film, “It was a brand new thing in my life that I’d never done before. It was for Walt Disney, of course, and the songs in Mary Poppins had a kind of Vaudeville quality to them.”
“I think it’s what attracted me to the role, because all that kind of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and Jolly Holiday music was very much like the kind of things that you hear in English vaudeville,” the actress added.
Andrews assisted Disney in setting records with Mary Poppins. The movie received 13 Academy Award nominations and ended up becoming the highest-grossing movie of 1964.
Andrews said how the inspiration for the Mary Poppins attire came from her ex-husband Tony Walton. His suggestions led to the decision to use colorful patterns on the inside while portraying a more “uniform” appearance on the outside. She disclosed what Tony had said to her at that time., “Because I think that’s what gives her pleasure. Very formal on the outside and a little bit wicked on the inside.”
“It completely gave me a clue as to her character. Big, big help for me,” she later recalled, giving him his due credit. The actress went on to play her iconic role as Maria von Trapp in The Sound Of Music. Recently, she narrated Netflix’s Bridgerton series as Lady Whistledown.
However, the actress did not appear on camera; she merely provided the voice for the narration. She also eliminated any chance that it would occur.
“No, no, no,” she said when asked about the possibility of a role in front of the camera. “You know who Lady Whistledown really is, so I’m afraid it stays with me in the background. But I’m very happy to do that.
Because the actress just made a rare public appearance, fans who were eager to see her can now relax. At the Sag Harbor farmers’ market in The Hamptons on Long Island, New York, the 87-year-old veteran actress was spotted.
She was attractive as she waved to passersby and used her cane to stroll. Fans are not accustomed to seeing the actress walking with a cane. Before heading to her car, she was observed purchasing two boxes of Lu Petit Ecolier European dark chocolate biscuits and some flowers.
Julie Andrews, who is renowned for her traditional manner, did not let us down in this instance either. The actress wore fitting gray pants and a light gray long-sleeve top. She completed her outfit with a white scarf around her neck, a beige tote purse, white sneakers, and gold stud earrings.
A man placed an umbrella over her as she attempted to get into the SUV because it had started to rain. In the images posted online, she appeared to be rather gorgeous.
Everyone thought the actress looked stunning. A user of X (formerly known as Twitter) commented that the actress looked “lovely as ever.” Another person said she was “so beautiful.”
Julie Andrews is unquestionably still as endearing as ever. Her well-known smile, which has for decades warmed the hearts of millions, still has the same impact.

If you find a coin on a loved one’s gravestone, you had better know what it means
We all have different traditions when it comes to commemorating and paying tribute to our loved ones who have passed away.
In today’s world, honoring the customs of others while commemorating the lives of the departed ought to come as standard practice. Some may choose to follow traditions or practices that the rest of us are not familiar with, but it doesn’t make them any less legitimate.
The same is true with gravestones and the ornamentation certain families choose to place over their loved ones’ last resting places. Coins being placed on headstones is one custom that is widely practiced and that you have probably witnessed at some point. However, why is this even a thing? And from whence did it originate? Continue reading to learn more.
Coins are traditionally placed on gravestones in cemeteries around the United States and other countries. When I was a little child, I first observed it when I was at my grandfather’s tomb, and even then, I started to wonder what it was all about.
Luckily, finding the beginnings online doesn’t need much research. Although it was previously thought that the practice originated with Roman military troops, a number of sources have disproved that theory in recent years.
Still, there’s a military connection to leaving pennies on gravestones. The American Legion Website states on one of its pages that it can be linked to the Vietnam War.
“Leaving a coin was considered a more practical way to communicate that you had visited the soldier’s grave than contacting the soldier’s family, which could devolve into an uncomfortable argument over politics relating to the war, due to the political divide in the country over the war.”
There are other reasons why veterans leave pennies on gravestones in memory of their fallen friends; occasionally, they do so in order to purchase a beer for them. Each coin represents a different meaning, according to reports.
For instance, a nickel is left by someone who served in boot camp with the deceased, whereas a penny just indicates that someone was present.
On the other hand, a dime represents a combined period of military service. Next are quarters, which inform the family of the presence of whoever left the coin at the moment of the loved one’s passing.
