Daily Dance: Julie Andrews Tap Dancing With Gene Kelly

I've never seen this.

Of course, Gene is fantastic, but who knew Julie could tap so well?

Fabulous.

Happy Birthday Julie Andrews - "At The Ballet"

I am a fan of the fab Julie Andrews. What a talent.

Rather than post something obvious, like the opening of "The Sound of Music" - I found this rather rare, and unusual clip from a 1979 TV special where Julie sings all three parts of "At The Ballet" from the then fantastically popular A Chorus Line.

It gets a little surreal as she tries to interpolate all three parts, but you get the idea.

Gotta love 1970s TV specials....

'The Sound Of Music' Turns 50

The AP reports:

Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer attend the TCM Classic Film Festival to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the much loved musical, 'The Sound Of Music,' and reflect on why they think it's such a iconic film.

Julie Andrews - "At The Ballet"

I adore Miss Julie, but sometimes back in the 1970s, TV specials tried anything to be "current." This was one of those attempts I suppose...

Check out the nervous breakdown section at the 3:27 mark.

It doesn't quite work, but I'm sure Julie would laugh at this today.
