Remarkably, sharing a birthday with some of the "Best of British", including Kenneth Williams, Sir Bruce Forsyth, Christine Keeler, Nigel Planer, Judy Cornwell, Dame Sheila Hancock, Sir John Mills, Lord Baden-Powell, the Duchess of Kent, Genesis P-Orridge and, erm, James Blunt; as well as George Washington, Marni Nixon, Drew Barrymore (who is 50!), Luis Buñuel, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Kyle MacLachlan, Edward Gorey, Guy Mitchell, Jonathan Demme, Ted Kennedy, Niki Lauda, Steve Irwin, Ellen Greene, Lea Salonga, Arthur Schopenhauer and, erm, Dolly the sheep; our beloved Dame Julie Walters celebrates her 75th birthday today!
All hail.
One of our all-time favourite actresses here at Dolores Delargo Towers, Dame Julie has turned her hand to a little bit of everything, from drama to comedy to musicals, and in her long career quite rightly earned herself that well-trodden epithet "national treasure".
So without further ado, here's a random selection of favourite bits from her career...
Filth: The Mary Whitehouse Story
An inspiration in my life...
Many, many happy returns, Dame Julia Mary Walters DBE (born 22nd February 1950)
