Julie Andrews was nominated for an Emmy for portraying the titular scullery maid who finds true love with a prince in this legendary adaptation of one of the most famous fairy tales of all time.

It was originally broadcast live on CBS on March 31, 1957, and was a phenomenal success, viewed by more than 107 million people.
