Julie Andrews
Ella worked with many stars over the years, including a very young Julie Andrews in the late 1940s with whom she shared the same bill of a Royal Command Performance. Julie Andrews pays tribute to Ella Shields in her own one woman show and has recorded Shields' famous song "Burlington Bertie from Bow". It is possible that Julie Andrews used Ella Shields as her role model for 'Victor' in the film and stage musical "Victor/Victoria".
