The heroine of MARY POPPINS and THE SOUND OF MUSIC tells her life
story from the music halls of London to Broadway stardom. Over the
years Julie Andrews has been much interviewed in the press and on
television, but she has never before revealed the true story of her
childhood and upbringing. In HOME she vividly recreates the years
before the movies. An idyllic early childhood in Surrey was cut
short when her parents divorced and her mother remarried. The
family moved to London, and there are vivid scenes of life during
the Blitz. Her mother went into musical theatre with her
stepfather, who encouraged Julie to have singing lessons which led
to the discovery that her voice had phenomenal range and strength
for someone her age. Before long she was appearing on stage with
her parents. She soon realised how much she enjoyed looking out
into the black auditorium with the spotlights on her. By the time
she was a teenager, she was supporting her whole family with her
singing. A London Palladium pantomime led to a leading role in THE
BOYFRIEND on Broadway at 19. Parts in MY FAIR LADY opposite Rex
Harrison and CAMELOT with Richard Burton soon followed, and there
are wonderful anecdotes about the actors and actresses of her day.
But this is far more than a collection of show stories (it's not
until the last page of the book that Julie gets the call from
Disney for MARY POPPINS), HOME is an honest, touching and revealing
memoir of the early life of a true icon.
