Some Moore Julie
Originally, I was going to post this because it’s Julie Andrews early in her career, appearing on The Garry Moore Show (which is likely where she met and became friends with Carol Burnett.) It’s in 1961, when she was about 25 and had just starred in Camelot. I liked the video because she sings one of my favorite Jerome Kern-Johnny Mercer songs, “I’m Old-Fashioned” – and just is sublime.
However, it was when she finishes, and host Garry Moore comes on stage that convinced me to post this without question. They don’t even perform anything together, though. Just sit and chat on stools for a few minutes, that’s all. But what they talk about --- what a find! I don’t want to give any of the specifics away, but I’ll just say they do a quaint little comedy-bit talking about how Hollywood casts movies of Broadway shows. And whatever you’re thinking, this transcends that. Most especially remembering that this is 1961. There’s a few moments you almost want to sit up and go, “Yipes!”
