That’s what happens when you start pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man. Stop pretending, dear.
Dame Julie Andrews on her status as being one of the greatest Gay Icons of our time:
“I’ve always been thrilled and surprised by it, I am just thrilled that they like me and seem to want to embrace what it is I do or offer. I do know that things like Victor Victoria have been wonderfully embraced, and it was such a lovely musical to do because it was about tolerance and it was about decency and love, all about love of all kinds.”
Cecil Beaton touching up Julie Andrews’ makeup for a My Fair Lady publicity photograph.
In her Autobiography Julie recalls, “Beaton sort of got my goat. Because we were both British, I quickly picked up on something: he was grander than he had any right to be. Maybe I sensed arrogance or hidden ambition. Certainly he acted like a snob. I began to tease him a little, using my developing cockney accent to good effect when I felt he was being condescending or indifferent. And he liked it! I would glimpse the teeniest crack of a smile on his pursed lips and a slight twinkle in his eye when I deliberatly flaunted a lower-class attitude.”
As talented as he his, Beaton’s treatment of a young Julie Andrews makes him sound like a complete pompous ass.
He was a genius in his work but he was such an ass. I love the little parody of him in Victor/Victoria.
wow! I never realized that but it it’s true, that scene could be a parody of his photo sessions!!! :D
w-what the hell… the Glee cast on the set of Le jazz hot, from Victor/Victoria!?

Julie Andrews - Attitude (Victor Victoria, Broadway 1993, (demo))
Some folks have it. Most folks do not!
This song is so damn good. I’m so sad it didn’t make it to the actual show. LOVE the lyrics and the music. And, of course, her voice.
“Those who have it, like it a lot. They’ve got what the others ain’t got. It’s a thing called attitude, that elusive attitude. A mixture of style, glamor and guile, knocking ‘em dead with that fabulous smile. Oh yes, style is that thing that can make a villain a king…”
“So who are the ones that make news? It’s the ones with attitude!”
Love it. It actually has a point LOL.
I MUST have that song on my iPod! where did you get it? I tried on Amazon and iTunes but there’s no Victor Victoria demo track
