He said: “We would stop in the middle lane on Sunset [Boulevard, in Beverly Hills] waiting for traffic and then go on.
“I kept looking over, two or three mornings a week…eventually I said ‘hi.’”
Both Julie and Blake divorced their spouses in 1967 and began seeing each other romantically soon after.
They may have seemed an odd pair, as Blake was 13 years her senior, however, the couple had a “bond” according to Julie.
Julie had her daughter Emma from a previous marriage, and Blake had two children Jennifer and Geoffrey.
The couple later adopted two girls named Amy and Joanna from Vietnam in 1974 and 1975 respectively.
The powerhouse Hollywood stars also worked together, creating seven films including Victor/Victoria (1982) and S.O.B. (1981).
Blake died in 2010 following a battle with pneumonia, and afterwards, Julie dubbed their relationship a “love story”.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain in 2015, Julie explained how she was still struggling to cope without her husband.
She said: “We were married 41 years and it was a love story, it was. Success in our marriage was to take it one day at a time and so, lo and behold, 41 years later there we still were.
“I’m still dealing with [his death].
“There are days when it’s perfectly wonderful and I am myself and then it’s suddenly—sock you in the middle of your gut and you think ‘ah God I wish he were here.’
“But he is in a way, I think one carries that love always.”
The Graham Norton Show is on BBC One at 10.35pm tonight
