Julie Andrews must really be a legend her own time. Back when theatre plays are the order of the day, Julie Andrews managed to grace the movie industry with her debut of "Mary poppins". But after surfing several fan sites dedicated to "My Fair Lady" (which I am halfway through watching), I realised that the first ever production of the theatre show also starred Julie Andrews as Eliza Doolittle! Quoted by http://www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/albm25.html "My Fair Lady opened at the Mark Hellinger Theatre on March 15, 1956 and enjoyed a run of 2,717 performances which lasted more than nine years. The original production featured Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins and Julie Andrews as Eliza."
