Dame Julie Walters

[redshoeblueshoe]

There is nothing like a dame . . . . .
nothing

[Mrfoxinabox]

Eh??

[redshoeblueshoe]

MrFox what don't you understand ?
Julie Walters has been made a Dame

And about time too

[eynesbury]

Why?

[redshoeblueshoe]

I would assume its for the joy and entertainment that she has given us for the last 40 years

[eynesbury]

Oh. Well she's an actress, it's her job.

[Mrfoxinabox]

Thought she already was. Good for her

[stopfuckingshoutingatme]

I loved her as Adrian's Mole mum Pauline
It's quite a skill to bring a beloved book character to life

[GinIsIn]

I thought she already was and this was going to say she was dead or something!!

[Bloodybridget]

Hurrah! Love Julie Walters (late to thread!).

[WishfulThanking]

I thought she already was

[BlackAmericanoNoSugar]

She deserves it for Two Soups alone, let alone the rest of her work.

[seasonschooner]

Not a fan to be honest. Well done anyway, for her role as Educating Rita at least. Everything she does lately is incredibly overdone.

[IloveBanff]

seasonschooner So I'm not the only person who isn't a fan! She seems to be regarded as a national treasure by almost everyone.

[Caulkheadupnorf]

I used to live opposite the house she grew up in. An elderly neighbour remembered her as a child and would say she was "a right madam with a lot of confidence ". This amused me a lot.

[lizzieoak]

I thought Lulu played Adrian's mum? (Off to check IMDb).

[sxround]

Julie Walters for Secret Diary, and Lulu for Growing Pains.

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

Two soups is bloody legendary, my brother and I still quote it regularly, along with

[user1andonly]

WishfulThanking same! If anyone had asked me, I would have said she'd been made one years ago - I must be muddling her up with someone else

[cottagecheesequeen]

I thought you were going to say she has died. I had tears in my eyes...

[MrsJayy]

I love Dame Julie she is a brilliant actress and very funny Mrs O is my idol I thought she was a dame already when i read it last week was confused

[TizzyDongue]

user1andonly & WishfulThanking you thinking of Judy Dench?

I do like Julie Walters, She's done so many amazing roles though have to say neither clip in posts above stand out as brilliance to me!!

[shouldwestayorshouldwego]

Are you all thinking of Dame Judy Dench that's who initially thought the thread was about

[MrsJayy]

No, i know who Judy Dench is

[lizzieoak]

I almost mentally substituting Judi Dench in all of Julie Walters roles. It's ... educational

Couldn't agree more. I find her so incredibly irritating.
