Who is Mary Poppins?

Mary Poppins is an iconic character from the 1964 Disney film Mary Poppins, based on the book series by P.L. Travers. She is a magical and enigmatic English nanny who arrives at the Banks family home on Cherry Tree Lane in Edwardian London to care for the children, Jane and Michael.

With her signature charm, wit, and no-nonsense demeanor, Mary combines strict discipline with whimsical adventures, often using her magical abilities to transform ordinary moments into extraordinary ones. Her goal is to teach the children—and their often distracted parents—important life lessons about love, kindness, and the value of family.

Mary Poppins is known for her trademark look, which includes a carpetbag, a parrot-head umbrella, and a perfectly poised demeanor. Her adventures, set to memorable songs like “A Spoonful of Sugar” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” capture a blend of fantasy and heartwarming storytelling that has enchanted audiences for generations.

The character was brought to life by Julie Andrews in the original film. Andrews’ performance earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress, cementing Mary Poppins as one of her most iconic roles. Emily Blunt later portrayed Mary Poppins in the 2018 sequel, Mary Poppins Returns, giving a fresh take on the beloved nanny.
