Before they met Blake Edwards was quoted at a 'Hollywood' party as saying that 'Julie Andrews has lilacs for pubic hairs'. Subsequently, she rang him up to give him the business and accepted an offer to go to dinner. The rest, as often said is history.

2 of my top five favorite films are Blake Edwards' films: Victor/Vicotria and S.O.B. He was really a brilliant guy and the world is less without him.
