These days there aren’t many celebrities that get through Hollywood without varying levels of scandal, drama and demolition of reputation. But then there are those few crowned jewels who escape that world unscathed. These are the classics, the legends. And Julie Andrews is one of these people. Here are the reasons why:

1. Was named a Dame by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II

Named a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II?? I feel like they just made up that title specifically for her. I honestly can’t think of anything more lady-like and noble. Queen Elizabeth II should just cut her losses and transfer the crown to Her Highness.

2. She’s 80 years old and still stunning.

Ageless. Simply ageless...

3. Underwent throat surgery and still sings beautifully.

I can’t imagine the devastation she felt when she was told she would never sing again, especially when her whole life has depended on her voice. But the lady’s still got it!

4. Princess Diaries.

If you’re a girl and a '90s kid, you grew up wanting to be Mia and needing Clarisse as your grandmother. Especially when she sang “Your Crowning Glory!” Just too perfect.

5. She has a rose named after her.

6. She has perfect pitch, a rare talent.

7. In 2002, she was voted the 59th greatest Briton ever in a BBC poll.

Seriously, how do you win these awards? I’m not even making this crap up.

8. She adopted two children from Vietnam with Blake Edwards, Amy Edwards (1974) and Joanna Edwards (1975).

Plenty of people adopt kids but she still earns even more respect for this.

9. Has written three books and they’re all about cute mom things.

“Thanks to You: Wisdom from Mother and Child” and “Home: A Memoir of My Early Years.”

10. She’s the definition of grace.

I don’t even need to prove anything here.

Truly, Julie Andrews is like a role model to me. She’s one of those people who inspires respect and awe. That’s what I dream of. I aim to carry myself with dignity, grace, and poise and such things as nobility and honor are very important to me. Julie Andrews is the perfect combination of strength and sass paired with nobility and beauty. Just simply magnificent. She rocks. She rules. She reigns.
