The Laendler and a blush after

Memory Served: Sometime between 1975 and 1980 (at least), Makati City

Dame Julia Elizabeth Andrews, whom we know as Ms. Julie Andrews was born on 01 October 1935. She made her professional solo debut at age 12 at the London Hippodrome as part of a musical revue, "Starlight Roof," on 22 October 1947. Two years after, 08 October, she made her television debut on the BBC. She was reported to have had a prior 35-year hiatus from performing when she starred in the stage musical Victor/Victoria, which opened in Broadway on 25 October 1995.

But I, as the rest of my family, will always and firstly fondly remember Dame Julie for her role as Maria Von Trapp of the Sound of Music. My sister Gemma and cousin Laarni will most likely turn into mush when they see this Laendler sequence again. On 28 October 2010, Dame Julie appeared on Oprah with other members of the cast to commemorate the film's 45th anniversary. Last year, the London Palladium brought the Sound of Music to the country, staged at the Theater at Solaire Resort from 27 September to 22 October.
