It's also hard to believe that this was her VERY first movie. She had been on TV once before, but Mary Poppins was the next thing she did.

At the time they wanted her for this movie, she was doing "My Fair Lady" on broadway. She made them put in her contract that she would be released from "Mary Poppins" if they decided to make a movie of "My Fair Lady" and wanted her. She was slighted though when they chose Audry Hepburn to play "My Fair Lady" instead. But Julie had the last laugh as she was the one that one the Oscar for Best Actress that year!

From the Wikipedia entry:
The word itself has obscure origins, pertaining as to when it was first used, but the roots are fairly clear, as Richard Lederer wrote in his book Crazy English: super- "above," cali- "beauty," fragilistic- "delicate," expiali- "to atone," and docious- "educable," the sum meaning roughly "Atoning for extreme and delicate beauty while still being highly educable." This is the perfect word for Mary Poppins to use, being that she thinks of herself as incredibly beautiful but also extremely intelligent, which makes up for it.
