Dame Julie Andrews was upset when Audrey Hepburn<\/a> was cast as Eliza in ‘My Fair Lady’.<\/p>\n

Dame Julie Andrews was hurt when Audrey Hepburn was cast in My Fair Lady<\/p>\n

Although Julie, 87, had won rave reviews for the role on stage, Warner Bros’ Jack Warner opted to cast Audrey in the lead for the feature film.<\/p>\n

Julie told US Closer magazine: “Though I totally understood why Audrey had been chosen for the role (I\u2019d never made a movie and was a relative unknown compared to her worldwide fame), I felt sad that I would never have the chance to put my version of Eliza on film.”<\/p>\n

However, Julie had her revenge when she went on to win an Oscar and Golden Globe for ‘Mary Poppins’ and took a cheeky dig at Warner during her acceptance speech for the Globes.<\/p>\n

She said: “My thanks to a man who made a wonderful movie and who made all this possible in the first place \u2014 Mr. Jack Warner.”<\/p>\n

\nDespite being feted for his turn in ‘Mary Poppins’, Julie admitted she found the attention of Hollywood difficult to deal with at first.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking about the movie’s US premiere at the iconic Grauman\u2019s Chinese Theatre, she said: \u201cI was unprepared for the pressure and scrutiny, the feeling of being pulled, poked and shouted at. I never sat down, and I don\u2019t recall eating a morsel \u2026 I couldn\u2019t wait to go home.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
