The 10 Best Julie Andrews Movies and TV Shows, Ranked

That distinct voice, regal aura, beauty and class are all of the things that define Julie Andrews — on top of her great success in movies and TV shows for more than 75 years.

Born Julia Elizabeth Wells in 1935, Andrews showed musical talent at a very young age, starting to sing in her mother and step-father's music hall act at only 10-years old. Throughout her adolescence and young adulthood, she continued to hone her craft both on the stage and screen.

By 1954, she was making her Broadway debut in The Boy Friend, with stage roles continuing in the wake. In the subsequent years, she made appearances on TV and had roles in television movies like Cinderella (1957) and The Gentle Flame (1959), but it was 1964's Mary Poppins that launched her to fame and earned her an Academy Award for her performance.

8. Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967)

Roaring twenties-era Millie (Julie Andrews) has ambitions of marrying wealthy, but this mission she's set out on isn't as straightforward as she imagined it'd be.

7. Bridgerton (2020 —)

Though she only lends her voice to this wildly popular series, she does so well enough that not including it on the list would be blasphemous.

Bridgerton chronicles the lives of the Bridgerton children, all seeking love in regency era England. While each season follows the intricacies of a new character's personal and romantic lives, Julie Andrews' narration remains consistent as always!
