An era comes to an end! Julie Andrews announces her retirement at 90, after nearly eight decades of career

Julie Andrews is 90 years old and has just closed a chapter that began more than sixty years ago.

The actress who gave Mary Poppins her voice and soul, who reigned as the beloved Queen Clarisse in “The Princess Diaries”, and who sang her way through the Alps as Maria in “The Sound of Music”, announced that she is retiring from acting. There is no scandal or tragedy behind it: just a woman who decided she had already given all she had to give in front of a camera.

Her voice—literally, because she lost much of her vocal range after surgery in the 90s—never stopped moving people. Now it’s time to look back and give thanks. Which of her characters marked your childhood?
