Product Information

An all-in-one resource, the volume presents a comprehensive and accurate profile of the people, projects, artistic highs and lows, and general influences that propelled the actress into the public eye beginning in the late 1950s. Spindle examines each of her 16 films and provides a detailed commentary on factors influencing her short reign as a box office superstar in the mid-1960s and the fact that she has retained her fame and celebrity status long after ceasing to be a Hollywood superstar. a very thorough as well as attractive record of her career in films, television, stage, and records. . . . The book will be a must' for every Andrews fan, and it is an excellent reference source for its subject. Videomania For fans of Julie Andrews as well as students of the performing arts, Spindle's reference chronicles the professional career of one of the world's most loved performers. No other book provides such a wealth of detail on the career achievements of Julie Andrews or delineates all her professional activities so thoroughly. A complete, all-in-one resource, the volume presents a comprehensive and accurate profile of the people, projects, artistic highs and lows, and general influences that propelled the actress into the public eye beginning in the late 1950s. Starting with Andrews' first film, Mary Poppins , Spindle examines each of her 16 films including such classics as Sound of Music , Hawaii , Victor/Victoria , and ending with her latest film, Duet for One . He provides a detailed commentary on factors influencing her short reign as a box office superstar in the mid-1960s, for Andrews is an anomaly in that she has retained her fame and admired celebrity status long after ceasing to be a Hollywood superstar. Besides film work, all other aspects of Andrews' career (theatre, television, personal appearances, concerts, recordings, and even her fiction for children) are considered. An episode-by-episode summary in the Television Appearances chapter is the only published survey of the entire 1972-1973 ABC-TV variety series, The Julie Andrews Hour . In his preface, Spindle offers a lively discussion of the eclectic and highly individual career of a perennial trooper and star whose career he likens to a roller coaster. This is followed by a biography and chronology which summarizes events and landmarks in Andrews' life. The next four chapters scrutinize major professional achievements in-depth, including Filmography, Stage and Television Appearances, and Discography. All entries in the four sections correspond to a particular career achievement, and consecutive numbering facilitates both subject index use and cross referencing within chapters. Over 150 reference sources, including books, and magazine and news articles are listed in the comprehensive bibliography. The three appendices review awards and nominations, identify roles considered but not played, and describe the two children's books written by the actress. A readable and informative reference work for students and scholars of the performing arts and popular culture, as well as for fans of movie musicals, this volume should also find a place on the shelves of most libraries.

Reviews
"Spindle, author of numerous articles on computers and entertainment, has compiled the first extensive biobibliography covering the career of entertainer Julie Andrews. The book aligns into ten sections: a 17-page biography; short chronology of Andrew's life; complete filmography, including credits, cast, synopses, excerpts from reviews, and commentary; chronologically arranged television appearances, with synopses; discography, including list of tracks; 185-item bibliography; awards and nominations; 'roles Julie (almost) played'; and her books for children. Spindle also adds a good subject index and 14 black-and-white film stills. Will serve as a welcome addition to two biographies, R. Windeler's Julie Andrews (1983) and J. Cottrell's Julie Andrews (1969), as well as articles on Andrews in standard theater and film annuals. Recommended for all public and academic libraries serving a numerous popular entertainment clientele." Choice, "We get a useful biography, analysis of her stage, singing and film careers and appendices listing films, stage and television appearances and discs. Many forget that Andrews has appeared in such important cinematic works (by aesthetic, social and economic criteria) as The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, and Victor/Victoria. She and husband, director Blake Edwards, have long been partners in making contemporary comedies. This is a useful reference book." CAST/Communication Booknotes, "Julie Andrews, number six in the Greenwood Press' "Bio-Bibliography" series, is a very thorough as well as attractive record of her career in films, television, stage and records. Its few illustrations are well selected and representative of her entire career - one with highs and lows - and containing at least one underrated masterpiece, Star (1968), to ge beside such gems as Mary Poppins (1964) and Victor, Victoria (1982), which nearly everyone loved. A bibliography lists book and periodical references of the star. Roles which Miss Andrews rejected are also listed . . . The book will be a "must" for every Andrews fan, and it is an excellent reference source for its subject." Videomania, "Well-researched and comprehensive . . . includes a lively biography, complete credits, annotated bibliography and other valuable source material." American Cinematographer
