I can remember the day I had the opportunity to interview Golden Globe® winner Emily Blunt for the unforgettable Into the Woods Event. I instantly fell in love with her charm that day. I am very excited to share the first glimpse of Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins Returns, the all new sequel to Disney’s 1964 film Mary Poppins.
I am a huge fan of Mary Poppins and to see Emily Blunt starring in the new sequel makes it even that much more special for me. Directed and produced by Rob Marshall, Mary Poppins Returns also stars Lin-Manuel Miranda (Moana – composer), Ben Whishaw (Skyfall), Emily Mortimer (Shutter Island) and Julie Walters (Harry Potter series) with Colin Firth (The King’s Speech) and Meryl Streep (Julie & Julia, The Devil Wears Prada, Into the Woods).
There are no words for me to explain how much I love Meryl Streep. I had the opportunity to interview her for Into the Woods. She’s right up there with interviewing Ellen DeGeneres… checking off my bucket list! Such amazing, strong, talented women!
