Julie Andrews
Paperback
The extraordinary career of Dame Julie Andrews spans more than forty years. Her first film, Mary Poppins, was DisneyÕs most successful film, and in 1965 The Sound of Music rescued Twentieth Century Fox from bankruptcy. Three years later, Star! almost put the studio back under, and the leading lady of both films fell as spectacularly as she had risen. But Julie Andrews is nothing if not a survivor; and despite many setbacksÑincluding the tragic loss of her singing voice in 1997 after a botched operationÑsheÕs still a performer, recently starring in Shrek and The Princess Diaries. Richard StirlingÕs deeply researched biographyÑbased on many years of contact with JulieÑis a frank but affectionate portrait of an enduring icon of stage and screen.
