We often think of Julie Andrews as the prim nanny\xa0from\xa0Mary Poppins\xa0and\xa0The Sound of Music, but her personal path may have the greatest resemblance to one of her Broadway roles: Eliza Doolittle in\xa0My Fair Lady. Andrews says she grew up \u201con the wrong side of the tracks\u201d in a family strapped for cash during wartime, and her initial training as an actor was in the less than prestigious field of vaudeville. But right before opening night of her breakout role in\xa0The Boy Friend, it was producer Cy Feuer\u2019s advice that we have to thank, in large part, for the level of excellence Andrews has brought to musical film and theater for generations. \u201cForget camp,\u201d he told her. \u201cGet real.\u201d
