Summary

"Home Work is the second installment of Julie Andrew's memoirs, beginning with her arrival in Hollywood to make her screen debut in Walt Disney's Mary Poppins, followed closely by The Sound of Music. The result is an astonishing rise to fame as those now-classic films brought Andrews almost overnight success. It was the beginning of a career that would make her an icon to millions the world over. With her trademark charm and candor, Andrews reveals behind-the-scenes details and reflections on her impressive body of work--from the incredible highs to the challenging lows. Not only does she share her professional experiences and collaborations with giants of cinema and television; she also unveils her personal story of adjusting to a new and often daunting world, dealing with unimaginable public scrutiny, being a new mother, moving on from her first marriage, embracing two stepchildren, adopting two more children, and falling in love with the brilliant and mercurial Blake Edwards. The pair worked together in numerous films, including Vicotor/Victoria, the gender-bending comedy that garnered multiple Oscar nominations."--Book jacket
