At 80 years of age, Zoomer acting legend Julie Andrews has given her blessing to British actress Emily Blunt reprising the role of Mary Poppins.
Blunt, who is a 33, has been open about having some trepidation about stepping into the screen legend’s shoes as the magical nanny made famous by Andrews in the classic 1964 Disney film. That performance earned Andrews a Best Actress Oscar.
An entirely new generation will get to know Mary Poppins which also stars another screen legend, Meryl Streep, when “Mary Poppins Returns” hits theatres in December of 2018
