Thread Name: BS: Greatest film debuts of all time.
Subject: RE: BS: Greatest film debuts of all time.
I was at the doctor's yesterday, and while I was waiting, I picked up a film magazine. They had an article about impressive first debuts, but I forgot most of them. And that's without the help of medication. Anyway, the one that I remember was Julie Andrews in "Mary Poppins". She could (and should) have been in the film version of "My Fair Lady", since she starred in the Broadway stage version, but Hollywood sometimes insists on established stars when they're not necessary. Anyway, I think the role of MP made up for that oversight. (Nothing wrong with Audry Hepburn, but she didn't do her own singing).
