The Super Secs (excerpt 04 - part 3)
Okay, people, this is the last part of that chapter which I subdivided. I sincerely hope you enjoyed it. :)

Blake returned five minutes later – and I did a double take. I had never seen him in a suit before. It was dark-green, double-breasted, wide lapeled. With it he wore a white shirt and striped tie. Spiffed up...

(The Super Secs: Behind the Scenes with the Secretaries of the Superstars!)
I walked back to my lounge chair and the script, but I was too exhilarated to go back to my reading and sunning. Oh well, I’d guess I’d remain a marshmallow forever. I was dying to call Ron, my live-in boyfriend, and share the news, but of course I couldn’t. I thought I’d burst.
I went back to the poolhouse,...

The Super Secs (excerpt 04 - part 1)
Okay, this excerpt was far too long, but seeing that I had to have it here on tumblr - I’m too much of a romantic fangirl not to -here’s what I’m going to do: I’ll subdivide the chapter into three parts so I can post without thinking it looks dreadfully long. Don’t miss out, kiddos.

The Super Secs (excerpt 03)
(The Super Secs: Behind the Scenes with the Secretaries of the Superstars!)
“I’m not going to be doing any movies for a while, Linda. I’m devoting myself to the Black cause. Alice should be able to handle everything. There isn’t just enough work for the two of you.”
So we hugged and bid a friendly farewell with promises to keep in touch. And I was...

The Super Secs (excerpt 02)
I was unprepared for London’s phone system when I went to live with there for six months as Blake’s assistant on the Julie Andrews Specials. Crossed lines are so common I was surprised the London phone company didn’t advertise “two conversations for the price of one.” Nothing said over the phone can be considered confidential – some perfect stranger is bound to be in on it at least part of...

The Super Secs (excerpt 01)
I’m reposting, because @watkin asked me to, and because we’ll never grow tired of hearing these stories.

The excerpts which I intend to share were taken from the book The Super Secs: Behind the Scenes with the Secretaries of the Superstars!, written by Alice Marchak and Linda Hunter.
Julie and Blake’s Beverly Hills home is on a quiet, gently curving street of...

Blake Edwards (1922-2010)
callumswood:
“My entire life has been a search for a funny side to that very tough life out there. I developed a kind of eye for scenes that made me laugh to take the pain away.”

“I had just seen this miraculous new hit a few nights before and had been swept away by it. It is still, arguably, the most perfect musical ever conceived. One moment of supreme theatre magic occurred when a young Julie Andrews as Eliza stands on the stage, alone and vulnerable, in a single spot and softly sings “I Could Have Danced All Night.” It was as if she’d flown all...
