I enjoyed the first part of this but it was a little disappointing and not particularly well written. I gave up about half way through as I wasn't interested enough to carry on reading. ( ) Acquired via BookCrossing 02 Nov 2009 - found unregistered on University OBCZ shelf Like so many showbiz autobiographies, this seemed to focus on the early years and struggle at the expense of the later ones. Mamma Mia was mentioned, for example, but only in passing. This does stop massive luvviedom, but I'd have liked to know more about this, her own family etc. Other than that a good and straightforward, honest-sounding read, lots of pictures and lots of nice Birmingham background too. Better than the biography of her I read a while ago. This one has gone on hold for a while. It is an interesting read, with the humour you would expect from Julie. However, I feel I've been spoilt by Dawn French's autobiography, which was so well written, funny *and* touching, that all others are going to struggle. The other thing I found about this book was that Julie does go off on tangents, and also changes subject quite abruptly. It's actually a reflection of a natural way of telling your life stories, but in a book format, it doesn't work so well. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Julie Walters has been described as the nation's most popular actress and comedienne. She has been delighting us on screen and on stage for over 25 years and we have taken her to our hearts. Now she tells us her own story, in her own words. She was born in fifties Birmingham, daughter of an austere Irish Catholic mother. She was sent to school in a convent and from a young age always wanted to be an actress but to appease her mother she first went into nursing. This didn't last for long though and she soon went to join the Everyman Theatre in Liverpool. West End success followed, and she quickly replicated her success on film, earning an Academy Award nomination for her role opposite Michael Caine in Educating Rita. Julie's collaborations with her close friend Victoria Wood have given us, among others, the unforgettable character 'Mrs Overall' in Acorn Antiques and Petula in 'dinnerladies', and she's recently charmed a new generation of fans playing Mrs Weasley in the Harry Potter films and alongside Meryl Streep in 'Mamma Mia!', as well as co-starring with Helen Mirren in Calendar Girls. The winner of countless awards, Julie has continued to be in some of Britain's best TV drama and was awarded a CBE for her services to the theatre. A natural writer with an instinctive sense of timing, Julie's memoirs are warm, moving, painfully felt, fiercely intelligent - and totally entertaining.
