After more than three years away from the public eye, legendary actress Julie Andrews made a rare appearance during the 2026 World Parkinson’s Congress — and fans were emotional seeing her again.
The Oscar-winning star appeared in a heartfelt video message, speaking warmly about the fight against Parkinson’s disease and encouraging people to continue searching for a cure. Fans quickly flooded social media with praise, calling her a “living legend” and saying she still looked beautiful and graceful at 90 years old.
Before this appearance, Andrews had last been seen publicly in 2023 alongside her longtime friend Carol Burnett.
Many fans still remember the heartbreaking moment in 1997 when a vocal cord surgery permanently damaged Julie Andrews’ famous four-octave singing voice. She later admitted the loss sent her into depression because singing had been such a huge part of her identity.
But instead of giving up, Andrews reinvented herself through writing children’s books with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton and continuing her legendary career in new ways.
From starring in Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music to becoming one of Hollywood’s most beloved icons, Julie Andrews has inspired generations with her talent, resilience, and grace.
For millions of fans, simply seeing her smile again meant everything.!!
