Julie Andrews Incredible acting ability and unbelievable voice and range. I love all her songs from Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Camelot....can't choose a favorite. I think my retarded son's favorite, though, would be either Do Re Mi or the Lonely Goatherd song -- both from Sound of Music.

They both make him giggle and clap his hands.

Angela Lansbury! She was just so good in “Mame” and then there was “Gypsy” and “Sweeney Todd. ” She just seems to become the character and despite the fact that you have seen her in so many other things you forget the other roles almost immediately and focus all of your attention on what she is doing at that moment.

She simple has a stage presence that few have equaled. Some of my favorite songs that she did include, “We Need a Little Christmas”, “Bosom Buddies” and “Everything's Coming Up Roses” which Ethel Merman did a pretty good job on too. Sources: my opinion .

Mary Martin My all-time favorite female star of Broadway musicals is Mary Martin, and I can only regret that I never saw her on the stage. I remember listening over and over again to the Broadway productions of ’South Pacific’ and ’The Sound of Music. ’ Somehow, the movies of each didn’t quite measure up to her performances--at least, not for me.

What I especially remember is seeing the television version of ’Peter Pan’ with Mary Martin, when I was six or seven. My best girl friend and I were rapt in front of the television in the ’50s. She was completely believable as the impetuous little boy who never wanted to grow up.(Cyril Richard was priceless as Captain Hook, too.) I’d have given my eye teeth to see her in that on Broadway.

My mother and father got our first television set so we could see her in Peter Pan! That would have been in the early fifties. But I was not aware that she was even in a production of the Sound of Music....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
