As she turns 90, a new celebratory documentary, Julie Andrews at 90: In Her Own Words, revisits an extraordinary career that has defined generations of musical theatre and film lovers alike. From her astonishing early performances — singing “The Polonaise” from Mignon at 12 and performing the national anthem for King George VI a year later — Andrews’ path to stardom seemed preordained. Friends, colleagues and admirers gather to reflect on that singular journey, from her effervescent stage debut in The Boy Friend to her defining screen turns in Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. The programme also revisits her fearless turn in Victor/Victoria, with reflections from Lesley Ann Warren, and closes on a poignant note as Andrews performs “Edelweiss” with Aled Jones during a UK tour — a reminder of the emotional clarity that has always defined her voice. Adding further sparkle, Millicent Martin recalls their many collaborations and the unmistakable British wit that shaped Andrews’ television legacy. Elegant, affectionate and steeped in nostalgia this documentary is both tribute and time capsule — a portrait of an artist whose poise and optimism have never dimmed."
