Another vote for hot. One of my regrets is that while I was working for ConEd she was doing Victor/Victoria on Broadway, and I didn’t take the time to get tickets to see her. It wouldn’t matter whether the show was any damned good - just to have been able to see her live would have been something. ---

I like Ladies. English ones among them. Deborah Kerr? Rrrrr. Jean Simmons? Mmmmm. Curiously, I never thought That Way about Julie until I saw her in white tie & tails in _Victor/Victoria_. I lke tomboys, too, you see. Especially 1930s tomboys, although that movie had about as much to do with the 1930s as Little Caesars Pizza does with the Roman Empire. Still, nothing beats Valerie Hobson in riding habit, throwing a hissy fit because her boots haven’t been polished properly. 😛 ---

Two bits from the Sound of Music. When she dances with the Captain and gets all out of breath and flustered, and when she comes out of the lake and is completly wet. Very very hot. ---

Maybe 50 years ago. You guys do realize she’s 6 years older than Dick Cheney? ---

[QUOTE=BobLibDem] Maybe 50 years ago. You guys do realize she’s 6 years older than Dick Cheney? [/QUOTE] Dude, you do realize some of us may lust after silver screen stars? Anne Sheridan, Jean Crain, Gene Tierney, for example, or the stars that **Beware of Doug** listed. Let’s be honest: for the majority of the public lusting after a movie star is about as likely to prove to be anything beyond a fantasy as lusting after fictional characters. What does the reality matter, when we’re talking about a fantasy on that level? ---

Not hot at all. A wonderful talent, though. It’s always pissed me off that she got screwed out of playing Eliza in the movie version of “My Fair Lady,” even though it was given to the smoking-hot Audrey Hepburn (except for the part about the singing). She’s hotter than Dame Wendy Hiller, who managed to get the role of Eliza in the 1938 movie version of “Pygmalion,” but that’s not saying much. ---

[/QUOTE] And Myrna Loy. Ever see _The Thin Man_ or _The Best Years of Our Lives_? Wow. Sorry for the diversion. Back to Julie Andrews. She’s not Myrna Loy Wow, but pretty Wow nonetheless. Her short haircut in _Victor Victoria_ just really does it for me. ---

Blake Edwards once told the story of how they met on a talk show I watched. He had trashed her at a party by saying “she’s so damned sweet she probably has violets growing between her legs”. She heard of what he had said and sent him a bouquet of violets saying “I picked these for you”. He was embarassed and invited her to dinner to apologize and evidently ended up picking violets for the next 40 years. ---

Hot? Not overly. Desirable, beautiful, sweet, worthy of undying devotion? Yes! 😃 On one or two ISIRTAs (long before “S.O.B.”) they played Julie’s songs from “My Fair Lady” with certain words beeped out. "All I want is a (beep) somewhere, Far away from the cold night air With one enormous (beep) Oh wouldn’t it be loverly? … Lots of chocolate for me to eat Lots of coal makin’ lots of heat Warm (beep), warm (beep), warm (beep)…" “If you’re in love, (beep) me” From ISIRTA’s hymn/march-like song, “Julie Andrews, I Love You!” > [@](#): > > (spoken intro) Who is the one who sets our temperature soaring? > Who is the one that sets our passions roaring? > Who is the queen of the silver screen that we all dream about? > Who is the moll, the living doll that we all dream about? > > (sung)Iiiiiiiiiiiiiits > Julie Andrews!

Yes, she is incredibly hot. I have always had a thing for Mary Poppins. She has such a combination of qualities. Beautiful face, the voice of an angel, and she looks soooo good in business attire. I always wished she was my nanny. But I think I would be going out of my way to be naughty just so she would spank me. ---

There was a time a couple of years back when we were watching _The Sound of Music_ a couple of times a week for a couple of months (my young son liked it). I realized one of my big problems with the movie (that I mostly enjoy) is that it wasn’t credible to me that the Captain would fall in love with Maria as she was depicted in the movie. Maria was supposed to be a novice in the convent but she looks every bit of the 30 years Julie Andrews was when the movie was made. Julie Andrews is talented and apparently smart and has a good sense of humor as well but hot? Not.
