While talent is important if one wants to become a star, sometimes a bit of luck is also required. Julie Andrews is now known around the world by millions of fans, but once upon a time she was just a twelve year old with an amazing singing voice, practically unknown to anyone outside of family and friends.
Then on one fateful day she was in the audience of a traveling show when one of the stars asked for a volunteer to come up on stage and sing with him. Julie volunteered and amazed both the audience and the performers. Quite literally a star was born before everyone’s eyes. The performer who gave Miss Andrews her chance to shine was Wally Boag, who suggested to the show’s promoters that Julie could become a superstar. That was exactly what happened. Years later, Julie and Wally would be reunited at DISNEYLAND- he was performing in the park’s Golden Horseshoe Revue and she was promoting the film that would win her an Oscar and cement her status as a legend- Mary Poppins. Dreams do come true!
