Home Work: A Memoir of My Hollywood Years by Julie Andrews Edwards

I basically wanted to listen to this because Julie Andrews read it aloud herself, and it feels like a treat to just hear Julie Andrews's voice for hours. But it was also fascinating listening to her stories about acting in the 50s and 60s and what it was like in Hollywood back then. She knew so many famous people and was a part of so many really important plays, and it was really neat to learn about. It was a little sad hearing about how she and her children were moving around so much and were split up so much being raised by nannies--I wonder if she regrets that now. But she did do such fascinating things and I loved learning about what it was like for her doing all of her amazing work, and in her marriage with Blake Edwards.
