Julie Andrews Trivia Questions

Julie Andrews voiced Queen Lillian in 'Shrek 2' (2004) and 'Shrek the Third' (2007), making her the original voice of that character.

She was passed over for the film role because studio head Jack Warner thought she lacked star power; she was not pregnant at the time. She famously lost the part to Audrey Hepburn.

Andrews originated the role of Victoria Grant in the 1982 film and later starred in the 1995 Broadway musical adaptation, earning a Tony nomination.

She was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2000, not knighted. 'Dame' is the female equivalent of 'Sir,' but she is not called 'Sir.'

Andrews trained privately with Lilian Stiles-Allen, a professor at the Royal Academy, but she never enrolled there as a student.

Suzanne Pleshette voiced Yubaba in the English dub of 'Spirited Away,' not Julie Andrews.

Andrews' Broadway debut was at age 19 in 'The Boy Friend' (1954), not at 12. She performed in London's 'Starlight Express' revue at 12.

Prior to a 1997 surgery that damaged her vocal cords, Andrews was widely known for a four-octave range, capable of singing soprano and alto parts.
