Fun
Lazy Sunday: Julie Andrews and Alec Baldwin
Dear Kay,
In case you’re behind on your British TV binge opportunities, be sure to make a note about Bridgerton, a new Netflix series coming sometime this year (when? I don’t know) set in Regency England. It’s a creation of producer Shonda “Scandal” Rhimes, based on the series of novels by Julia Quinn. It’s likely to be bonkers, if you’ve ever watched a Shonda Rhimes series. Can’t wait.
Why do I mention this? Because Julie Andrews will be the narrator for the series, and I just listened to her conversation from 2015 with Alec Baldwin for his Here’s the Thing podcast.
Fun to be a fly on the wall. At 84, she remains a vibrant talent. Listen to it via this gizmo, and if the gizmo doesn’t work for you, listen here.
Love,
Ann

Vibrant knitting from cover to cover. Thanks for your Shop purchases. They keep everything humming along here at MDK.
Fabulous. Julie Andrews has been a favorite of mine for as long as I remember. Whet a lovely way to start my Sunday.
I have read all of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton novels. They’re a lot of fun. Can’t wait to see what they do with them as a series.
Just watched the new Mary Poppins movie last night. There will always be only ONE Mary Poppins, and it’s not the newest actress.
Thank you for sharing! Such a lovely interview — thoughtful, interesting & entertaining. Such a grand lady!
I saved this and listened to it today – what a treat. I could listen to Julie Andrews for hours.
And, although I know he has lots of his own nifty anecdotes, I do wish Alec would let his interviewees finish their own sentences!
