Walt Disney tried to purchase the movie rights to Mary Poppins as early as 1938, but she did not agree until 1961. Planning the film and composing the songs took about two years and the film was finally released in August 1964.

Pamela Lyndon Travers (born Helen Lyndon Goff in 1899) wrote 8 books in the Mary Poppins series. The first was published in 1934 and the last in 1988.
The brothers Richard M (b. 1928) and Robert B (1925-2012) Sherman wrote 17 original songs for the movie Mary Poppins (1964) many of which are being used in the stage production. It is difficult to say who wrote the majority of the words, as they both contributed to lyrics and melody. In 1965 they won two Academy Awards for Mary Poppins.

The biggest word in the movie and stage versions of Mary Poppins is "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". It has 33 letters. The word was not part of the books. Richard M and Robert B Sherman, who wrote the music, thought the children needed a nonsense word to use during unusual times. It was similar to a word the brothers used as children.

Just once, in 1984.
None that are still alive.She lived about 200 years ago.
