Dame Julie Walters

[redshoeblueshoe]

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

Eh??

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

And about time too

Why?

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

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

Thought she already was. Good for her

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

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

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

I thought she already was

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!!

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

No, i know who Judy Dench is

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.
