She's the nanny you always wished you had. She sang. She danced. She played games. She freaking flew! To this day, even her own grandchildren find her spellbinding. In a recent interview with the New Jersey Star-Ledger, Andrews said:

"My grandson was taken to see 'Mary Poppins' at a birthday party. His mother, my daughter, found him this close to the television when she came to pick him up from the party, and he looked terribly puzzled. She said, 'Do you think that's somebody you know?' And he said, 'Yes.' He was only about three, and she hadn't shown him anything [that I was in]. And she said, 'Is it somebody that you know very well?' 'Yes.' 'Is it someone in the family?' 'Yes.' And she said, 'Is it maybe Granny Jules?' And he went, 'Oh, yes!'"

Julie Andrews is coming to ABC Family this month on "Mary Poppins," and we admit it: We're freaking excited.
