In 1997 she was forced to undergo surgery after developing hoarseness in her throat which was reported to be non-cancerous nodules.
However, Julie confirmed on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2010 that “I didn’t have cancer, I didn’t have nodules, I didn’t have anything”.
After suing the doctors who had operated on her throat, Julie settled for an undisclosed sum in 2000.
While her singing voice was changed forever, that didn’t stop Julie from continuing to star in films – including classic 2001 film The Princess Diaries.
