Synopsis:
Alcoholism, infidelity, syphilis and indeterminate parentage may seem improbable touchstones in the back story of one who didn’t so much portray as embody the blithe Maria in “The Sound of Music”. But as this memoir of her formative years makes clear, there is more gravitas to Andrews than meets the eye.
From her childhood in rural England and initial forays into British theatre, to her first massive successes on Broadway and in the West End, notably as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, “Home” puts her celebrated career in context.
While arguably offering more detail about the Andrews family than necessary, it nevertheless dishes wonderful anecdotes about legends and Andrews contemporaries like Noël Coward, Rex Harrison, Robert Goulet, Richard Burton, and Rodgers and Hammerstein, in prose as crisp and immaculate as the author herself.
It also offers a revealing look into the intricate, exhaustive craft of performing, skills often taken for granted in tabloid times.
