If you've been missing icon Julie Andrews lately, you're in good company. The 90-year-old singer and actor certainly isn't in the public eye as much as she once was. On Memorial Day, though, she made an appearance for a good cause. The World Parkinson Coalition shared a video, which was created for this year's World Parkinson Congress, featuring the legendary performer. While the video is less than a minute long, chatter about it online shows that this was more than enough to make fans feel emotional and grateful to see the beloved "Sound of Music" star.

The video shows Andrews sitting next to a window in what appears to be her living room. The Oscar winner is wearing a blue crewneck with gold jewelry and looking just as poised as ever. She addresses the congress' attendees, noting, "Your participation is invaluable as we seek to find a cure to this terrible disease." She ends the video saying, "May we all become a beacon of light to stop it in its tracks. Count me in as a red thread. Thank you." The video made its way to X, where plenty of netizens expressed that the star was a sight for sore eyes. One of her fan accounts shared it, writing, "There she is...! A lovely new message from Julie Andrews... lending her voice to an important cause with her usual grace, warmth, and sincerity. We are SO happy to see her," which summed up the overall response well.

The internet loves Julie Andrews more than ever

"This made me tear up. How blessed to have such an icon still with us," one commenter wrote on The World Parkinson Coalition's video of Julie Andrews on YouTube. "Lately she shows up in a new video every 6 months or so and that's how we know she's doing well and i'm so grateful for that," one X user wrote with a happy tears emoji. Other X users noted how heartening it is to hear her famous voice. "Awwwww sweet Julie! Her voice is such a caress for my [heart,]" one wrote. "She still has a magical voice," added another, prompting the reply, "always has and always will."

Andrews has undergone quite a transformation since she started on Broadway when she was just 18 years old. These days, we don't hear from the star much. When she does reappear, though, it's amazing how little has changed since her days in the limelight. At 90 years old, Andrews looks just as stunning as she does in throwback photos. The enthusiastic response from fans proves that not much has changed for them, either. It is nostalgic and comforting whenever she pops up, and it's clear that folks will never tire of seeing her make a surprise appearance.
