Book #25: "Home"

This is Julie Andrews' autobiography-at least up until the early sixties-the book ends right before her two most famous film roles: Mary Poppins and Maria Von Trapp. Still, there's plenty of fascinating material here, and anyone with even a casual interest in either film or theater should definitely read it.

Fun fact: during the section on the Broadway production of Camelot, Julie Andrews mentions the lovely voice of her co-star, Richard Burton, and having the movie in my head, I was thinking of Richard Harris, who was...not a great singer. So I was confused. Okay, not as fun as I initially thought.

Author: Julie Andrews

Potentially objectionable content: Some language and what I believe the MPAA would refer to as "thematic elements"
