Julie Andrews' net worth: How much has she earned during her career?

Julie Andrews is not only known for her great roles, but also for her beauty and kindness. As one of the most acclaimed actresses of the 1990s, she has managed to reinvent herself time and time again. At 86 years old, Andrews could have stepped aside after the magnificent career she has had, but she is far from that.

"I maintain the same passion I had at the beginning of my career. I'm excited about every project I start. I'm starting to direct, before the pandemic I did it in 'My Fair Lady'. And now I'm thinking about producing. And like Bridgerton, I do a lot of solo work with my voice now. That's the part I love the most, because I don't have to do my hair and makeup. I still enjoy my work, just like the first day", confessed the actress, according to Excelsior.

She was part of major productions that have taken her to the top of the Hollywood chain. Ranked as one of the most talented actresses in the industry, she has been part of works such as Mary Poppins. Thanks to her role as the magical nanny, she won her first Oscar award. But it was two years later, in 1965, when she really achieved stardom thanks to The Sound of Music, a film that broke box office records and is considered one of the best films in history.
