Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins (1964)

Julie Andrews passed the umbrella to Emily Blunt in 2018's Mary Poppins Returns with grace as she didn't want her shadow hanging over Blunt.

Director Rob Marshall told Entertainment Weekly: "She said, ‘This is Emily’s show, and I really want it to be Emily’s show. I don’t want it to be, 'Oh, here comes that Mary Poppins,' ... I really want her to take this and run with it, because she will be brilliant."
