Dame Julie Andrews DBE(born Julia Elizabeth
Wells; 1 October 1935) is an English actress, singer, and author. She has
garnered numerous accolades throughout her career spanning over seven decades, including an Academy Award, a British
Academy Film Award, two Primetime

Awards. Andrews was made a Disney Legend in 1991, and has been honoured with an Honorary Golden Lion as well as the AFI Life
Achievement Award. In 2000, Andrews was made a dame by Queen Elizabeth II for
services to the performing arts.
Andrews, a child actress and singer,
appeared in the West End in 1948
and made her Broadway debut
in The Boy
Friend(1954). Billed as "Britain's youngest prima donna", she
rose to prominence starring in Broadway musicals such as My Fair Lady(1956)
playing Eliza Doolittle and Camelot(1960)
playing Queen Guinevere. On 31
March 1957, Andrews starred in the premiere of Rodgers and
Hammerstein's written-for-television musical
Cinderella, a live,
colour CBS network broadcast seen by over 100 million viewers. Andrews made her
feature film debut in Walt Disney's Mary Poppins(1964)
and won the Academy Award
for Best Actress for her performance in the title role.
The following year she starred in the musical film The Sound of
Music(1965), playing Maria von Trapp and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture
Comedy or Musical.
The Sound of Music is a 1965 American musical drama film produced and directed by Robert Wise,
and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher
Plummer, with Richard Haydn,
Peggy Wood, Charmian Carr, and Eleanor Parker. The
film is an adaptation of the 1959 stage musical of the same name,
composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar
Hammerstein II. The film's screenplay was
written by Ernest Lehman, adapted
from the stage musical's book by Lindsay and Crouse.
Based on the 1949 memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, the
film is about a young Austrian postulant in Salzburg, Austria, in 1938
who is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess
to his seven children. After bringing love and music into the lives of the
family, she marries the officer and, together with the children, finds a way to
survive the loss of their homeland to the Nazis.
Filming took place from March to September
1964 in Los Angeles and Salzburg. The Sound of Music was released on March 2,
1965, in the United States, initially as a limited roadshow
theatrical release. Although initial critical
response to the film was mixed, it was a major commercial success, becoming the
number one box office film after four weeks, and the
highest-grossing film of 1965. By
November 1966, The Sound of Music had become the highest-grossing
film of all-time—surpassing Gone with the
Wind—and held that distinction for five years. The film was just as popular
throughout the world, breaking previous box-office records in twenty-nine
countries. Following an initial theatrical release that lasted
four and a half years, and two successful re-releases, the film sold 283
million admissions worldwide and earned a total worldwide gross of $286 million.
The Sound of Music received five Academy
Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director,
Wise's second pair of both awards, the first being from the 1961 film West Side
Story. The film also received two Golden Globe
Awards, for Best Motion Picture and Best Actress, the
Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement,
and the Writers
Guild of America Award for Best
Written American Musical. In 1998, the American Film
Institute(AFI) listed The Sound of Music as the fifty-fifth greatest American film of all time, and the fourth greatest film musical. In 2001, the United States Library of
Congress selected the film for preservation
in the National Film
Registry, finding it "culturally, historically,
or aesthetically significant".
There's a sad sort of
clanking
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too.
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping up to say cukoo!
Cukoo! Cukoo!
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye to you.
So long
Farewell
Aufwiedersehn
Goodnight
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long
Farewell
Aufwiedersehn
Adeiu
Adeiu Adeiu
To yieu and yieu and yieu
So long
Farewell
Au 'voire
Aufwiedersehn
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
So long
Farewell
Aufwiedersehn
Goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye!
I'm glad to go I cannot tell a lie
I flit I float
I fleetly flee I fly
The sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long Farewell
Aufwiedersehn
Goodbye—
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
