2. Julie Andrews

If you were to define a performer as ‘multi-talented,’ there are few that can come close to this veteran of both the stage and the screen, Julie Andrews. An actress, singer, powerhouse soprano, and author of two books, Andrews stole the hearts of many in the early stages of her career with one of pop culture’s most recognizable and unforgettable figures with her role as Mary Poppins. The following year, she followed that up with the widely successful Sound of Music.

She may have had a variety of roles on stage and screen in her now 75-year career, but those two characters have stood the test of time some sixty years later. The Sound of Music is still considered one of Hollywood’s best musicals, and generations of parents are continuing to introduce their children to everyone’s favorite musical and magical nanny.
