Botched throat surgery? edit

Nevermind. Somehow I missed the brief mention of this here. Carry on. :D woo

Cabaret edit

According to Keith Garebian in The Making of Cabaret in 2011[1] without any source and Brett Farmer in 2013 quoting Sandy Wilson but without giving a source[2] and not giving any source Julie Andrews was interested in the role of Sally Bowles - according to at least one source[3] she agreed to play the part - but her manager refused to allow her to take the role Maybe this article should mention that.

Sorry I can't be of help. My only edit was to unlink an article deleted at AfD. Not familiar with the issues surrounding this role. Star Mississippi 21:35, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
... and I was just gnoming, and getting it slightly wrong too. Looks like it may well be true, but the sourcing looks awful to me, but I have no experience in this area, preferring WP:MEDRS ! - Roxy the English speaking dog 22:30, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

How does one let Julie know you are thinking of her and praying for her? edit

She is very heavy on my heart today and I am concerned for her. I have been praying for her that God will hold her in His loving arms and give her everything she needs for this day and the days ahead. She is a beautiful person which you can see comes from the inside out! 2600:1008:B05E:E279:9186:F74A:AC4F:5074 (talk) 15:10, 5 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Names as author edit

Since both Julie Andrews Edwards and Julie Edwards are versions of her married name wouldn't something like "her married names" be preferable to "the pen names"? Mcljlm (talk) 15:44, 5 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

I've changed "the pen" to "her married". Mcljlm (talk) 06:49, 13 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Citations edit

Windeler appears as a citation 8 times: "Windeler (1970)" the first 6 times, "Windeler" the 7th and lastly "Windeler, Robert (1998), Julie Andrews: a life on stage and screen". The article should indicate if these are different editions of the same book or different books. Mcljlm (talk) 03:50, 8 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Paternity edit

The 3rd sentence of section # 1 Early life is "Andrews was conceived as a result of an affair her mother had with a family friend. Andrews discovered her true parentage from her mother in 1950,[8][9] although it was not publicly disclosed until her 2008 autobiography.[10]". Since [9] is the 1970 Julie Andrews, a biography by Robert Windeler, whose cited pages are at https://archive.org/details/julieandrewsbiog00wind/page/20/mode/2up, it doesn't relate to the 2008 disclosure. I haven't been able to see [8] but since it's the 1989 Julie Andrews: A Bio-Bibliography by Les Spindle I assume it doesn't either. [10] is a 2008 paywalled NYT article (whose title differs from that in the reference). Wouldn't it be better for the references to be to her autobiography Home: a memoir of my early years, the source of the information in the NYT article? Mcljlm (talk) 06:46, 13 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

To add to article edit

To add to this article: mention of Andrews's 2022 book (with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton) The First Notes: The Story of Do, Re, Mi. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 01:17, 21 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
