Julie Andrews on finding her voice again, as a children's book author

'Mary Poppins' was Julie Andrews' first film. Her second film was 'The Sound of Music.' If she had never made another movie, she might still be one of Hollywood's most endearing and beloved stars … and generation after generation would still be singing along. Though that was just the beginning of a career literally in its eighth decade, it's a very good place to start.

'But eventually, it was just me, because my stepfather was an alcoholic, sadly.'But she said at that young age she was not, despite her training, reaching for the stars. 'No, in fact, doubting that I ever would,' Andrews said. 'I mean, I was doing it because it helped and I had to. In my teens, I would think, 'What is all this for? Where is it going to lead?' And then, suddenly, the world broke open.
