Julie Andrews Is Such A Legend

It's a fact of life: Everything ends, time marches on, and startling anniversaries occur at seemingly the blink of an eye. But one thing is constant: Julie Andrews is amazing, a legend, and an icon. So when The Sound Of Music's 50th anniversary sneaks up to remind us that everything ends and our own mortality looms large on the horizon, there's at least Julie Andrews standing by to take our minds off the passage of time by... well, being Julie Andrews. On Thursday, that will manifest in Julie Andrews reminiscing on The Sound of Music during a sit-down with Diane Sawyer for The Untold Story Of the Sound Of Music.

As with any Andrews-related news, it is our duty as human beings to use this event as an excuse to remember some of the truly great (and sometimes surreal) moments in Andrews' half-a-century as one of the world's most beloved performers.

Andrews is known as one of the classiest ladies in the universe, but there's something else we need to remember about her: Not only is she known for cursing like a sailor (bless her), but also for living through the '80s doing things like singing medleys with Carol Burnett while somewhat inexplicably dressed like this.

First, here's the extended promo for The Untold Story Of the Sound Of Music:

Remembering this brilliant moment in Andrews' career is reason enough to look back on some of Andrews' other amazing moments...

Then, to '80s, when this happened:

Please, I beg of you, make note of their outfits and store that visual in your head forever. If Julie Andrews can be classy while wearing that? Then Julie Andrews can do anything.

Next, to when Andrews won her Oscar in 1964:

...and proceeded to totally son Jack Warner, who missed out on casting Andrews in Audrey Hepburn's My Fair Lady role, in the process.

Then, when she was on What's My Line in 1960:

"Yup."

When she compared nude scenes with Channing Tatum in 2014:

It was legitimate indeed.
