I found this interview that Blake and Julie did back in 1982. It is really long but a very interesting read - focuses a lot on the ups and downs of their careers and their relationship in the 70's and it is brutally honest (something very rare for a Julie interview) Blake Edwards & Julie Andrews 1982 |

Am I alone in thinking Blake seemed like a huge jackass? |

I read that one too @tantekj. I found it extra interesting as Julie had mentioned her ankle surgery in her show last year and when we all went to meet her afterwards, they had had to change the location of the meet and greet as she was still having trouble with her ankle and walking up and down the stairs after her surgery.

Am I alone in thinking Blake seemed like a huge jackass? It seems like Blake was many things and probably 'jackass' was one of them. Funny how different people seem to just go well together. Julie and Blake ended up being a good match for each other for some reason. (PS. I just hit 1000 posts and I am still GOD!!) |

Golly, it took me over an hour to read Charleybec's Blake/Julie article, but well worth it - lots of interesting stuff about well-known films and the pressures on directors from the studios.
For those who don't have the time to get to the end, I reproduce here a quote from Julie from the penultimate paragraph:
"I've found, incidentally, that when you're making a film or play, a very personal thing happens between the two main people in it. It's not exactly like an affair, but it's close. And it's very cerebral, because you get into all sorts of areas of vulnerability and self-consciousness, and you really sense where the other person is at. A very close relationship builds, and yet it can be over as soon as the film is finished, but that's the nature of the beast and it's nothing that one regrets".
Hmmm...'can' be over? Or maybe not?!...

It would seem that theirs hasn't.

Rereading the quote from Julie above has made me think about where our two favourite characters actually meet, psychologically speaking:
CP is from an articulate, well-educated family (wasn't his grandfather Prime minister of Canada?), Julie's mother and stepfather were a vaudeville act with a very different lifestyle. Bearing in mind their very different backgrounds and personalities, it must have been quite a challenge for Julie to get up close and personal with this established Shakespearean actor who must have seemed to be from a world away from hers.
A clue for us, I think, is how she is now such a 'Grande Dame' in the theatrical world - she has an extraordinary character and tenacity which has propelled her to the top and kept her there.

Oh, without question. I just finished reading Home and she talks a lot about that sort of thing in it |

Something she shared when I saw her Monday night was the love of reading instilled in her by her real father. He also edited her very first book for her. She detailed how when she would visit, he would read to her at bedtime, and that influenced her greatly.
She also detailed how Blake was not that kind of father; that he was 'obsessed with making movies' and how important it is for us as moms to encourage the dads to read to their kids.

In Home you can definitely read the love and adoration she has for her father.
True I can't picture Blake as a reading kind of guy. I'm more of a reader here too. Hubby always challenges them with writing and numbers.

Yes, and his response was that he'd seen her in My Fair Lady and fallen in love with her right then.
