I would have glossed over this, but the Sound of Music has been on cable so much lately that my eye couldn't help but be drawn the the sunny picture of her dancing in the Alps. The Times has a joint review of her memoir and a biography. Her memoir ends with leaving England, and the reviewer has this interesting comment about the biography, which continues her life:

"To continue with the story you can skip to Page 118 of Richard Stirling’s “Julie Andrews: An Intimate Biography,” an extensive cut-and-paste job that suspends its reverential tone only with the author’s panicked discovery that his subject may be close to finishing a rival book: 'I pondered why she should be writing it at all if, as I surmised, she were to be so selective. She certainly did not need the money.' Poor Richard!"
