As Julie—who shares Emma Walton Hamilton, 63, with ex-husband Tony Walton, as well as daughters Amy Leigh Edwards, 52, and Joanna Lynne Edwards, 48, with late husband Blake Edwards—embraces her 90s, she has continued to enjoy a royally abundant career.

In addition to voicing Lady Whistledown in Bridgerton for four seasons, she recently shared that she and Emma—who have written 30 books together over the past 25 years—had collaborated to reissue their 2010 children's book The Great American Mousical.

The Sound of Music actress was grateful that she and her daughter had worked together on the project, especially after a 1997 throat surgery left her unable to continue singing professionally.

"I would go completely mad if I didn't have some lovely thing to work on," she told Forbes in 2023. "I think really, since I had a bad surgery on my throat, I've just turned to this with Emma and it's been such a joy. It has been very refreshing for me and reviving in a way, because of course, it was a very sad event."

Nonetheless, she knows how lucky she is to thrive in such a competitive industry.

"I've just been so really lucky in my career that the opportunities, the mentors—somehow being somewhere at the right moment," Julie added. "None of it was really planned—and so, things don't just land on your desk every second but surprises do, and I just think nobody has been more fortunate than I've been."
