Julie Andrews lost the ability to sing in 1997. That year she was admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital for the removal of a non-cancerous polyp on her vocal cords, and what should have been a simple surgical procedure went dreadfully wrong.
acquainted the movie-going public with the Rodgers and Hammerstein tune"My Favorite Things," innumerable parodies of that ditty have been coined by a legion of aspiring humorists who found it the perfect platform from which to launch a bit of comic mayhem. The song's rhythmic cadences lend themselves readily to the tuneful renditions of lists, with its pivotal lyric supplying a delicious touch of irony to even the most outrageous compilations.
By July 2001, newsgroups posts of the pastiche were prefaced"Reportedly, Julie Andrews recently performed at a concert for AARP members." This marked a turning point in the history of the piece: what had previously been offered solely as a spoof of a popular song was now being presented as an anecdote about its celebrated singer.
Andrews sued the two doctors and the hospital for what had been done to her. In 2000, she settled her malpractice suit out of court, and though the terms of that settlement were not publicly disclosed, the amount she recouped is believed to be in the neighborhood of £20 million . "Will I ever completely come to terms with not singing? I don't know," says the former Mary Poppins."I miss it very much indeed."
