<p>As classy as the whole thing looked on screen, Julie Andrews has revealed that &#8220;a few Anglo-Saxon swear words&#8221; were used during a botched harness stunt during the filming of &#8220;Mary Poppins.&#8221;</p>
<p>Andrews appeared on Stephen Colbert&#39;s &#8220;The Late Show&#8221; in the US when she revealed the near-catastrophic incident.</p>
<p>&#8220;There was a very dangerous day at the very end of filming when I was in this unbearably painful harness,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>“And I spent the longest time hanging up there with the umbrella.</p>
<p><span class="caas-img-wrapper"><img decoding="async" alt="(Source: CBS)" src="https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/5d2F7cWnOs51OzkOTkgbsQ--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MQ--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/homerun/feed_manager_auto_publish_494/60ae58c2291693a2d5328210190bfeee" class="caas-img"/><span class="openArrows icon"></span></span></p>
<p>(Source: CBS)</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought I felt the wire give way and fall about six inches. I was nervous&#8230; and very tired.</p>
<p>&#8220;So I called down and said, &#39;Excuse me, if you let me down, could you let me down very gently because I feel like I&#39;m slipping and I just don&#39;t feel very safe up here.&#39;&#8221;</p>
<p>And what happened next?</p>
<p>&#8220;I fell on the stage. I did. And then there was a terrible silence for a minute and I must admit that a few Anglo-Saxon swear words flew from my soul.&#8221;</p>
<p>Arguably the most classic Disney musical, it came out 53 years ago when Andrews – now 83 – was 28.</p>
<p>The sequel, “Mary Poppins Returns,” is planned for 2018, with Emily Blunt in the role of the magical nanny.</p>
<p>At her side are Ben Whishaw as the adult Michael Banks, Emily Mortimer as his adult sister Jane, as well as Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Angela Lansbury and Lin-Manuel Miranda.</p>
<p>Dick Van Dyke, who of course played chimney sweep Burt in the original, will also have a cameo appearance.</p>

<p>Julie Andrews has revealed how she felt when she met her Mary Poppins co-star Dick Van Dyke for the first time.</p>
<p>Andrews, 88, starred opposite Van Dyke, 98, in the classic 1964 movie musical. She opened up about the memory during the two-hour CBS special &#8220;Dick Van Dyke 98 Years of Magic,&#8221; which aired Thursday (Dec. 21).</p>
<p>&#8220;If I remember correctly, it was very hot in early September and the Disney team had built a large stage out in the back of the studio and created a shade roof out of a huge tarp,&#8221; the Sound of Music actor explained.  “When I arrived on the first day, Dick was already working with the choreographers and dancers.”</p>
<p>She continued: &#8220;I had never done a film before, and I had given birth to my beautiful daughter Emma almost six weeks earlier, and I quickly realized that I had better pull up my socks and get in shape.&#8221; I found It&#39;s pretty daunting, I can tell you that.</p>
<p>Andrews remembered Van Dyke as &#8220;young, as fit as can be and truly stunning to look at,&#8221; adding that the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang actor &#8220;couldn&#39;t have been kinder, genuinely sweeter and more helpful.&#8221; I like to think so “We hit it off straight away.”</p>
<p>“It was so nice to see him imitating the animated penguins or trying to ride the pony on the carousel.  Become a magical chimney sweep.  Actually, I think it was a very enjoyable film for the entire company,” she said.</p>
<p><span class="caas-img-wrapper"><img decoding="async" alt="“Mary Poppins” star Dick Van Dyke (Getty Images)" src="https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/ZfVVemlZyp8dNLIeo4DfFA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MA--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_independent_577/4f145b667fed174fb5025418fa66f37e" class="caas-img"/><span class="openArrows icon"></span></span></p>
<p>“Mary Poppins” star Dick Van Dyke (Getty Images)</p>
<p>Andrews&#39; first film role as the eponymous Mary Poppins, a magical nanny who brings fun and imagination into the lives of the two Banks children, earned her an Oscar for Best Actress.  The next year she received an award for her starring role in 1965&#39;s The Sound of Music, followed by a third nomination in 1982 for the comedy musical Victor/Victoria.</p>
<p>Van Dyke, who played Bert in the original, returned for the 2018 sequel Mary Poppins Returns to play Mr. Dawes Jr., the son of Van Dyke, the greedy director of London&#39;s most important financial center also starred in the 1964 classic.</p>
<p>In early February, the Bye Bye Birdie actor revealed his secret to staying so young.  &#8220;Having a beautiful young woman half my age taking care of me—that works!&#8221; Van Dyke told Yahoo!. </p>
<p>He credited his wife, 52-year-old makeup artist Arlene Silver, with helping him maintain a &#8220;positive attitude&#8221; and go to the gym &#8220;three days a week&#8221; to work out.</p>
<p>“I encourage everyone to do that because that’s how people age,” he said.  “It&#39;s just a matter of stiffening up and not exercising the muscles and lungs.  Practice is the answer.”</p>

<p><span>In 1964’s musical </span><span>Mary Poppins</span><span>, a cheerfully soot-covered </span><span class="caas-xray-inline caas-xray-entity caas-xray-pill rapid-nonanchor-lt" data-entity-id="Dick_Van_Dyke" data-ylk="cid:Dick_Van_Dyke;pos:1;elmt:wiki;sec:pill-inline-entity;elm:pill-inline-text;itc:1;cat:Actor;" tabindex="0" aria-haspopup="dialog">Dick Van Dyke</span><span> glides across a London set as Bert the chimney sweep singing “Chim Chim Cher-ee” with pure glee. Later, he’s barely recognizable in the role of crusty banker Mr. Dawes Sr. “I had to go to Walt [Disney] and beg him to let me do it. So, he made me do a screen test,” recalls Dick of playing the surprise second role in the film. “I got the part — and I didn’t even charge him extra! It was such fun.”</span></p>
<p><span>With a remarkable career that has spanned seven decades, Dick, 97, has a lot to look back on. “I didn’t know I was going to be an entertainer. I thought I was going to starve,” says the Illinois-reared star, who began performing in high school. His service during WWII as an Army radio announcer eventually led to Broadway, television’s</span><span> The Dick Van Dyke Show</span><span> and starring roles in two of the world’s most beloved family-friendly musicals, </span><span>Mary Poppins</span><span> and </span><span>Chitty Chitty Bang Bang</span><span>. “I’m getting a lot of letters from kids who have just discovered those old movies,” he says. “I know that I’ll be remembered more for Bert than anything. I’m happy about it.”</span></p>
<p><span class="caas-img-wrapper"><span class="openArrows icon"></span></span></p>
<p>Dick Van Dyke: Julie Andrews Was &#8216;Fun&#8217; To Work With</p>
<p><span>Of course, his career didn’t end with </span><span>Mary Poppins</span><span>. Dick’s later work included more film roles — including a couple of turns as villains — a return to series television with </span><span>Diagnosis: Murder</span><span>, plus guest starring spots and several books, including 2015’s </span><span>Keep Moving</span><span>. “I’m the kind of person who gets out of the right side of the bed,” explains Dick. “I’m full of ideas and make a list of the things I want to do.”</span></p>
<p><span>In 1961, Dick won a Tony for his featured role in Broadway’s original cast of </span><span>Bye Bye Birdie</span><span>. He and the other members of the show — including </span>Chita Rivera<span> and Paul Lynde — appeared together on an episode of </span><span>The Ed Sullivan Show</span><span>. It’s where America got a first look at Dick’s graceful footwork as he performed “Put On a Happy Face.”</span></p>
<p><span>In less than a year, Dick would become the star of </span><span>The Dick Van Dyke Show</span><span>. Conceived by Carl Reiner and costarring Mary Tyler Moore, Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam, the series was a ratings winner that earned four Emmys for Outstanding Comedy and three for its lead actor. “It was five terrific years with a very talented, sweet, wonderful man,” Rose Marie gushed to </span><span>Closer</span><span> in 2017. “I know it sounds like a cliché, but we were like a family. Honest to God.”</span></p>
<p><span>Dick remembers it as “the happiest, most creative five years of my life.” He loved that Carl allowed them to improvise and occasionally sing and dance. “My favorite show was the one where we all got to perform,” he tells </span><span>Closer</span><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>Over the course of the show, Dick developed a crush on Mary Tyler Moore, who played his wife, Laura. “She had never done comedy before, but we got to where we could read each other’s mind,” he recalls.</span></p>
<p><span>During a break from the show, Dick teamed up with </span>Julie Andrews<span> to make </span><span>Mary Poppins</span><span>. “I just lucked out with the leading ladies,” admits Dick, who calls Julie “talented and easy to get along with.” It was a pretty great way to spend the summer. “As I told Julie, ‘If I’m not enjoying myself, I stink. If I’m having fun, I’m pretty good,’” says Dick. “We just enjoyed ourselves.”</span></p>
<p><span>In 1993, Dick returned to television with </span><span>Diagnosis: Murder</span><span>, a medical crime drama that became a family affair. “My son Barry has been on from the beginning,” said Dick in 2000. Grandson Shane also played a medical student. “At one point or another, I’ve had all four of [Barry’s] kids on the show,” said the actor, who has enjoyed a diverse career but has always been proudest of his family-friendly projects. “I think we’re kind of an alternate choice for people who have had it with sex and violence,” he said of </span><span>Diagnosis: Murder</span><span>. “You can watch it with the kids and feel safe about it.”</span></p>
<p><span>This February, Dick made his way to another show with mass appeal. He calls competing in disguise as Gnome on </span><span>The Masked Singer </span><span>“the weirdest thing” he has ever done in his long career. “I think some people thought I was dead,” Dick jokes.</span></p>
<p><span>Although he was voted out first, Dick exited the competition with a smile singing </span><span>Mary Poppins</span><span>’ “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” It brought the judges to tears. “A lot of the audience started to sing with us, too,” says Dick. “It was great, great fun to bring back those memories for people.”</span></p>

<p><span>Dick recalls the &#8220;happiest, most creative five years of my life.&#8221;  He loved that Carl allowed them to improvise and occasionally sing and dance.  &#8220;My favorite show was the one where we all got to perform,&#8221; he says </span><span>Closer</span><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>Over the course of the show, Dick fell in love with Mary Tyler Moore, who played his wife Laura.  &#8220;She had never done comedy before, but we could read each other&#8217;s minds,&#8221; he recalls.</span></p>
<p><span>During a break from the show, Dick teamed up with </span>Julie Andrews<span> make </span><span>Mary Poppins</span><span>.  &#8220;I just got lucky with the leading actresses,&#8221; admits Dick, who describes Julie as &#8220;talented and approachable.&#8221;  It was a pretty great way to spend the summer.  &#8220;Like I said to Julie, &#8216;If I&#8217;m not having fun, I stink.&#8217;  &#8220;When I&#8217;m having fun, I&#8217;m pretty good,&#8221; says Dick.  &#8220;We just enjoyed it.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span>In 1993, Dick returned to television with </span><span>Diagnosis: murder</span><span>, a medical crime drama that became a family affair.  &#8220;My son Barry was there from the start,&#8221; Dick said in 2000. Grandson Shane also played a med student.  “Eventually I had all four of them [Barry’s] Kids on the show,&#8221; said the actor, who has had a varied career but has always been most proud of his family-friendly projects.  &#8220;I think we&#8217;re kind of an alternative choice for people who are fed up with sex and violence,&#8221; he said </span><span>Diagnosis: murder</span><span>.  &#8220;You can watch it with the kids and feel safe doing it.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span>This February, Dick headed to another show that had mass acclaim.  He calls against each other disguised as a gnome </span><span>The Masked Singer </span><span>&#8220;the weirdest thing he&#8217;s ever done in his long career.&#8221; &#8220;I think some people thought I was dead,&#8221; jokes Dick.</span></p>
<p><span>Despite being voted out first, Dick left the competition with a singing smile </span><span>Mary Poppins</span><span>&#8216; &#8220;Supercalifragilisticexpiallegic.&#8221;  It brought the judges to tears.  &#8220;A lot of viewers started singing along, too,&#8221; says Dick.  &#8220;It was great, it was great fun to bring those memories back to people.&#8221;</span></p>
