{"product_id":"home-a-memoir-of-my-early-years","title":"Home: A Memoir of My Early Years","description":"The beloved Julie Andrews has captured our hearts on screen for decades, but she has never told the story of her life before fame—until now.\n\nIn Home: A Memoir of My Early Years, Julie takes her readers on a warm, moving, and often humorous journey from a difficult upbringing in war-torn Britain to the brink of international stardom in America. Her memoir begins in 1935, when Julie was born to an aspiring vaudevillian mother and a teacher father, and takes readers to 1962, when Walt Disney himself saw her on Broadway and cast her as the world's most famous nanny.\n\nAlong the way, she weathered the London Blitz of World War II; her parents' painful divorce; her mother's turbulent second marriage to Canadian tenor Ted Andrews, and a childhood spent on radio, in music halls, and giving concert performances all over England. Julie's professional career began at the age of twelve, and in 1948 she became the youngest solo performer ever to participate in a Royal Command Performance before the Queen. When only eighteen, she left home for the United States to make her Broadway debut in The Boy Friend, and thus began her meteoric rise to stardom.\n\nHome is filled with numerous anecdotes, including stories of performing in My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison on Broadway and in the West End, and in Camelot with Richard Burton on Broadway; her first marriage to famed set and costume designer Tony Walton, culminating with the birth of their daughter, Emma; and the call from Hollywood and what lay beyond.\n\nFeaturing over fifty personal photos—many never before seen—his is the personal memoir Julie Andrews' audiences have been waiting for.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0786884754\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0786884754.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Andrews, Julie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
