Dame Julie Andrews ‘considering US citizenship’
December 22nd, 2009 - 5:48 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )London, Dec 22 (ANI): Veteran actress Dame Julie Andrews has revealed that she’s planning to take up US citizenship.
The Mary Poppins star is married to American filmmaker Blake Edwards and divides her time between houses in Los Angeles and Switzerland, reports the Telegraph.
In an interview to The Lady magazine, the 74 year-old actress said, “I’m beginning to consider US citizenship, although I still have my British passport. I am married to a lovely American.”
Although, she adds, she would love to have a third home in the UK “if time and funds allowed.”
Andrews was made a dame in 2000.
“This is the greatest honour of my life. I didn’t think I was eligible as I’ve lived in America for such a long time but I’ve always felt I’ve taken my Britishness with me,” she added. (ANI)
