Julie Andrews has raised widespread concern about her health by appearing in a video in May 2026 to raise awareness about Parkinson’s disease. As the beloved star of «The Sound of Music» turns 90, fans are worried that she may be struggling with the illness.
«Good evening, everyone! I’m Julie Andrews, and I’m pleased to welcome you to the seventh World Congress on Parkinson’s Disease», - Julie said in an Instagram clip. «Your participation is invaluable as we strive to find a cure for this terrible disease».
The «Princess Diaries» actress added that she knows «how devastating [Parkinson's disease] can be».
«Let us all be a beacon of light to stop it», - Julie concluded, adding, «Count me in as part of this. Thank you».
Here’s what we know about Julie’s health and how she is feeling now.
As mentioned, Julie is 90 years old. She was born on October 1, 1935.
So far, there is no indication that Julie is suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Neither she nor anyone close to her has confirmed these rumors.
As far as is known, Julie is reportedly in good health, although the respected English actress and singer has rarely appeared in public in recent years.
Throughout her career, Julie has actively advocated for health issues. In addition to raising awareness about Parkinson’s disease—an illness that affects actors like Michael J. Fox—this award-winning icon has also discussed osteoporosis, a condition in which bone mineral density deteriorates over time. According to Global Action on Aging, her late mother suffered from this disease.
«I think it’s time for osteoporosis to be recognized as one of the more serious health issues facing women of my generation», - Julie once said, according to the organization. «Osteoporosis should not be seen as a natural part of aging, because it doesn’t have to be. Significant progress has been made in this area—in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment—and it’s important for women to know the facts, talk to their doctors, and maintain their independence to continue doing the things in life they enjoy»
