I read an excerpt from Julie Andrews new book in Good Housekeeping. It comes out on April 1st. I am so tempted to buy it. I am usually one to wait for paper back or even used. But I do really want to read it!
I have met a few celebrities, but Julie Andrews is the only one that made me nervous. I worked at a bookstore where she was going a book signing a few years ago (I think she was in the bay area filming The Princess Diaries at the time). I got to be “security” for the event! She was talking to her manager as she walked into the back room and she sounded just like she did when she was Mary Poppins and she said, “With every job that must be done, there is an element of fun…”. Her voice was so smooth and relaxed.
In the book, she talks about her childhood as well as, and most interesting, the period she became famous for My Fair Lady, Cinderella, Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music.
Enh…. I guess it is okay for me to wait to buy it. I can’t even begin reading it until June when the semester is over.
OMG, when I saw this I thought she was dead for half a second!!!
I HEART her.

Put it on hold at the library. By the time it comes in it will probably be June! Then you don’t even have to buy it.
