The 84-year-old Academy Award winning actress had surgery in 1997 to remove what she thought were non-cancerous nodules from her throat but she was left with permanent damage that destroyed her voice.

LONDON - Dame Julie Andrews says losing her singing voice after surgery in 1997 is the biggest disappointment of her life.

Before losing her voice, Julie starred in 1964 classic Mary Poppins, and the 1965 musical The Sound Of Music. When asked about her greatest fear, she said: "Something happening to my kids. If my kids are unhappy, I can't relax or be happy at all." When asked about the last time she cried, she said: "Working on my memoir because some memories were painful to revisit."
