That's Another Story

That's Another Story: The Autobiography | Julie Walters

pick

Dame Julie Walters is something of a national treasure in the UK. In her role as Petula Gordino, in Dinnerladies, she doesn't even have to speak to have me in fits of giggles. She's a wonderful comic actor with her facial expressions saying a thousand words. She also starred in one of my favourite films of all time - Educating Rita.

OutsmartYourShelf (If you haven't already watched it, then do so at once. It's a great film with moments of humour but it's also a window onto early 1980s Britain & the class & education systems which still existed then. It also stars Michael Williams - Dame Judi Dench's late husband - in a supporting role).

OutsmartYourShelf This autobiography covers from her early years in Edgbaston, Birmingham through to her role as Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter films. There were some moments where I actually laughed out-loud, but I did think that her film career was sped through rather quickly compared to her early years. I would have liked to hear more about her friendship & working relationship with Victoria Wood, but it is what it is. 2y

OutsmartYourShelf Overall, enjoyable with some genuinely funny moments.

OutsmartYourShelf @MrsK 😀 It was published over 10 years ago but I saw it at a local charity book sale so grabbed a bargain. 2y
