Actress Julie Andrews

Watching the Sound of Music and Mary Poppins in movie theaters as a kid and then getting to have a lengthy conversation with the woman who played those roles, well, it doesn’t get much better than that. I have chatted with actress Julie Andrews several times at the Goodspeed Opera House where she has been honored and has directed plays there, but tonight was just great… the two of us in an historic New England church with hundreds in attendance in Madison, Connecticut. My daughter Katie got to meet her too and her friends…just honored to be able to chat up a gal that so many in the world look up to. She is a children’s book author with her daughter Emma…and they are cranking them out…almost 30 books. And Andrews is working to get her “The Great American Mousical” book, which is now a play on Broadway, at 78…she is my idol. You go girl! She’s won an Oscar and Tonys and, well the list goes on and on, and she’s not done yet, not by a long shot.
