At 90, Dame Julie Andrews made a rare video appearance to support the seventh World Parkinson Congress.
Seated casually in a white armchair, the Mary Poppins and Sound of Music legend welcomed attendees and spoke about the devastating impact of Parkinson’s disease.
“May we all become a beacon of light to stop it in its tracks,” she said, showing her support for the Congress’ Red Thread Project.
Despite keeping a lower profile in recent years, Andrews remains active. She continues to voice Lady Whistledown in Bridgerton and is also preparing to release a new children’s book, Shy, co-written with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton.
Together, the mother-daughter duo have written more than 30 books, continuing Andrews’ lifelong legacy of storytelling and imagination.
