Happy Birthday! - Dame Julie Andrews clocks 80 today

Dame Julie Andrews

Dame Julie Andrews  clocks 80 today, 1st October, 2015. She is an English film and stage actress, singer, author, theatre director and dancer. Andrews, a former child actress and singer, appeared on the West End in 1948, and made her Broadway debut in a 1954 production of The Boy Friend.

Having spent six decades acting—from originating the role of Eliza Doolittle on Broadway in My Fair Lady when she was 21 to voicing Princess Fiona's mum, Queen Lillian, in three Shrek movies—Andrews has amassed quite the résumé, winning over multiple generations of fans in the process.
But while she's charmed in theaters for years, some of her most best scenes have come when she was "just" Dame Julie, charming as always.

E! News has taken time out to define her in Nine Points that makes her nothing but an international treasure in honor of her milestone age. Click here to view the points.
