jujubiest: kateordie: tyleroakley: lexieloveyoulikeacupcake: When Jack Warner was casting the movie My Fair Lady, Julie Andrews, who played the original Eliza Doolittle on Broadway, was overlooked for the part, that was given to Audrey Hepburn. That made her available to accept Mr. Disney’s invitation to play Mary Poppins. At the 22nd Golden Globes, when she won the best actress award (she was up against Audrey for My Fair Lady), she had her sweet revenge. THE SHADE OF IT ALL. My boss told me this story and I didn’t believe it. It’s so good. Important note: the “sweet revenge” was 100% directed against Jack Warner, and not at all toward Audrey Hepburn. Andrews was completely gracious and kind to Hepburn, the very same night she murdered Jack Warner from the podium. She did not treat her like a rival or encourage the pitting of women against each other. Behold two of the classiest women ever to grace the silver screen (photo from that night): -- source link
