Yes, Julie Andrews is British.  I think she would have to play 
against type to be evil, however.  She has always portrayed a good 
character in her roles.

I would like to see Dame Judy Dench (The current "M" in the James 
Bond movies; Queen Elizabeth in "Shakespeare in Love") play Delores 
Jane Umbridge.  I think she would do a splendid job.
