Julie Andrews April 18, 2008

Julie Andrews, who has written several children's books, both solo and with her daughter, has never told the story of her life before fame. Until now.

In Home: A Memoir of My Early Years, Andrews 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.
