There are friendships which last for ever and in Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews case it was like that. When they first met and started talking, it was like two children met for the first time and felt that they will be friends for a long time.
At the outside, Carol and Julie looked pretty different, Julie was always an elegant woman with exquisite taste, but Carol rather liked the simpler style of clothing, but very well chosen and also with taste, but their souls got strongly connected to each other and seemed to match perfectly. When they first met, it was before starting the rehearsals for The Garry Moore Show where the producer wanted them to work together. After starting rehearsing, both of them realized that there was a special connection between them: no jealousy or concurrence existed, they did not feel threatened about each other and it was like acting together boosted the confidence of the to actresses and they had so much fun in working together and when the show turned into a real success, they were tempted to think that the big pleasure of working together has lead to it.
Julie Andrews has always seen in Carol more than a funny comedian who always gave some extremely funny answers, by watching her behavior she realized that Carol did everything with grace and being a lady, even though at the first sight it seemed that she is only fooling around to make people laugh and have a good time, but it has always been more than that: she cared about people, she loved them and she never said something that offended someone. She saw that people admired her very much and felt so close to called her by the first name and that was no offense, it only showed how close they were.
Carol Burnett was fascinated about the way Julie was: looking reserved and calm and sometimes icy cold, she hided in herself a spirit full of life and ambitions and every time they got together, Carol could see the inner character of her best friend and Julie felt very comfortable with her friend Carol and it was always like they were two kids playing together and having no responsibilities at all when being together.
