And Jim, giving Audrey Hepburn the role in the original movie was not an oversight. True she might've not originated the role, but she redefined it as her own. And she deserved the Academy Award. I like Julie Andrews and I like Mary Poppins, but Eliza Doolittle was a much harder character to play. They only gave the Oscar to Andrews to stick it to Hepburn. Jerks... July 8, 2009 6:47 PM
