Julie Andrews Makes Rare Video Appearance for Annual Parkinson's Disease Conference
Julie Andrews welcomed attendees and said the disease can be devastating in a rare video message for the annual conference.
- Dame Julie Andrews, the 90-year-old Mary Poppins legend, made a rare video appearance to launch the seventh World Parkinson's Congress, shared on YouTube by the World Parkinson Coalition.
- Following a 1997 throat surgery that ended her singing career, Andrews found creative renewal through collaborations with daughter Emma Walton Hamilton, 63, producing 30 books together over 25 years.
- In the May 24 video, Andrews welcomed Congress attendees from a sunlit window, wearing a grey sweater over white turtleneck, and urged 'Your participation is invaluable as we seek to find a cure to this terrible disease.'
- Andrews' Emmy win for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance as Lady Whistledown in Netflix's Bridgerton demonstrates her continued professional recognition and active career trajectory at 90.
- Andrews has never met her Bridgerton castmates in person despite heavy narration since 2022, reflecting that 'None of it was really planned...I just think nobody has been more fortunate than I've been,' while a third Princess Diaries film remains in development.
