What are your thoughts about Victor/Victoria, from 1982? You play a woman who poses as a man so she can perform as a female impersonator. The inclusion of openly gay characters was groundbreaking for the time. Did it feel that way when you were making it?
At the time, it was. It was a forerunner for opening doors and things like that, which is grand. Blake saw the original German film, which was very tame, and the theme of homosexuality wasn't in it at all. He suddenly got a bead on how he could do it. And I remember him coming home and saying, ‘I just saw a very good movie, and I think it would be a wonderful film for us to do together.’ I kept saying, [Laughs] ‘No one is going to believe that I'm a guy.’ And he said, ‘Honey, don't worry about it, because the audience within the movie buys it.’ In other words, the shots of the audience roaring their applause and so on shows that you've passed muster. So therefore the audience watching it in the cinema will go along with that story.
What was the reaction like? Was there a lot of pushback? Did people celebrate it?
It was obviously more successful in the big cosmopolitan cities like Chicago and L.A. and New York. Places like that. I think over the years, it's certainly grown in popularity and it’s basically another form of a love story. It's all about love and that's what Blake wanted it to be.
— Julie Andrews Spills the Tea on ‘Mary Poppins,’ ‘The Sound of Music,’ and ‘The Princess Diaries'
