1935 - Julie Andrews

English actress, singer, and author Julie Andrews. She made her feature film debut in Mary Poppins (1964) and won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the title role. She starred in The Sound of Music (1965), playing Maria von Trapp and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. The 1965 UK & US No.1 album The Sound of Music spent 382 weeks on the UK chart and was the best-selling album in the UK in 1965, 1966 and 1968 and the second best-selling of the decade, spending a total of 70 weeks at No. 1.

This is from a movie that was filmed in glorious Todd-AO. This is really Julie Andrews, and not Marni Nixon. In "The Sound of Music," Marni Nixon played the role of Sister Sophia.
