MY FIRST GUEST IS AN EMMY, GRAMMY, AND ACADEMY AWARD WINING
LEGEND WHOSE NEW MEMOIR IS CALLED "HOME WORK." PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE
SHOW," THE PRACTICALLY PERFECT, JULIE ANDREWS! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
( BAND PLAYING ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
( BAND PLAYING ) >> Stephen: THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING HERE! >> IT IS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU
AGAIN. >> Stephen: SO LOVELY TO SEE
YOU, TOO. I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK TO YOU SEVERAL TIMES. >> OH, YES. >> Stephen: WE'VE SPOKEN
BACKSTAGE A COUPLE OF TIMES, SUNG TOGETHER. THE FIRST QUESTION I WANT TO ASK
YOU EVERY TIME I SEE YOU IS, WOW, IT'S SO EXCITING TO SEE YOU
EVERY TIME. >> THAT'S NOT EXACTLY A
QUESTION. >> Stephen: IT'S MORE AN
EMOTIONAL REACTION. >> I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT
YOU. >> Stephen: THANK YOU, JULIE
ANDREWS. ( LAUGHTER )
WOW... ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
NOW, THE FILM THAT PROPELLED YOU TO YOUR FIRST FAME, REALLY,
INTERNATIONALLY, WAS "MARY POPPINS." >> FIRST FILM I EVER MADE. >> Stephen: YOU RECEIVED AN
OSCAR FOR THAT, RIGHT? >> YES. >> Stephen: EXTRAORDINARY. BUT THE SO "THE SOUND OF MUSIC"
CEMENTED YOUR -- YOU WEREN'T IN THE BROADWAY CAST? >> NOT THE STAGE PRODUCTION. >> Stephen: HAD YOU SEEN THE
BROADWAY PRODUCTION? >> NO. IT FELT A LITTLE SACCHARIN AT
TIMES. >> Stephen: A LITTLE TOO SWEET
FOR YOU? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, SEVEN
CHILDREN AND THE ALPS, SUPPOSEDLY, BEAUTIFUL MUSIC,
GORGEOUS MUSIC. >> Stephen: SURE, HELICOPTER
SHOTS? >> WELL, THAT'S IN THE FILM,
YES, A LOT OF HELICOPTER SHOTS. BUT I THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN
WITH THE REAL STUFF OUTSIDE, THE REAL SALZBURG, VERY OVERSWEET. BUT EVERYBODY ON THE FILM WANTED
TO MAKE IT AS ASTRINGENT AS POSSIBLE INCLUDING LOVELY CHRIS
PLUMBER AND OUR WONDERFUL DIRECTOR ROBERT WEISS. >> Stephen: YOU MEAN LIKE TAKE
SOME OF THE SWEETNESS OUT OF IT? >> YEAH, TAKE SOME OF THE
SACCHARIN OUT OF IT AND JUST TRY TO MAKE IT KIND OF AS REAL AS
POSSIBLE AND NOT TOO SUGAR RI, REALLY. >> Stephen: RIGHT, BECAUSE
THERE ARE NAZIS IN IT -- ( LAUGHTER )
-- AND THAT'S A DASH OF VINEGAR IN A LOT OF STORIES. >> WELL, YES, AND INDEED THERE
WERE SETS WE WERE ON THAT, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY USED
TO BE AND WHO USED TO BE THERE, IT WASN'T PLEASANT. >> Stephen: NO. CHRISTOPHER PLUMBER, HE'S A VERY
INTIMIDATING CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN VON TRAPP IN THAT, WAS HE
SERIOUS OR LIGHT HEARTED OFF CAMERA? >> OH, MOSTLY LIGHT HEARTED. HE'S A GREAT GUY AND A
TREMENDOUS FRIEND AND WE'VE STAYED FRIENDS OVER THE YEARS. >> Stephen: THAT'S NICE. LOVE SEEING EACH OTHER. HE WAS THE GLUE THAT HELD THE
WHOLE THING TOGETHER. >> Stephen: REALLY? WELL, HE GAVE IT THAT
STRENGTH AND WAS VERY KIND TO WORK WITH. I LOVED WHAT HE DID IN THE FILM. >> Stephen: CAN YOU TELL ME,
THIS IS ONE TO HAVE THE MOST -- SOMEWHERE IN MY YOUTH OR
CHILDHOOD THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS SCENES IN THE MOVIE,
THE TWO OF YOU IN THE GAZEBO. CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT SHOOTING
THIS? >> YOU KNOW THE STORY. >> Stephen: IT'S SHOW
BUSINESS, JULIE, OF COURSE I KNOW THE STORY. ( LAUGHTER )
I LATE TO GIVE AWAY SUCH A BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL SCENE, BUT
THEY LIT THAT SCENE BECAUSE IT WAS A GAZEBO, THEY LIT IT WITH
HUGE KLEEG LIGHTS, WHICH ARE VERY STRONG. >> Stephen: SO IT WASN'T
ALWAYS IN SILHOUETTE? >> NO, NOT AT ALL. THIS IS WHAT I'M GETTING TO. PATIENCE, DEAR LAD, PATIENCE! >> Stephen: THIS IS WHAT'S
CALLED SETTING YOU UP. ( LAUGHTER )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> EVENTUALLY THE LAMPS WERE
TIPPED DOWN TO GIVE SHAFTS OF MOONLIGHT. THE CARBONS RUBBING IN THE LAMPS
BEGAN TO GROWN AND MOAN AND IT SEEMED LIKE A TERRIBLE COMMENT
ON OUR ACTING. YOU KNOW, WHEN CHRIS WAS SAYING,
OH, MARIEIA, I LOVE YOU, IT GROANS AND OTHER EXTREMELY RUDE
NOISES. WELL, AFTER A WHILE, YOU KNOW,
THEY PUT NEW CARBONS IN, STILL IT DID IT, AND FINALLY IT GOT SO
BAD THAT I COULD SEE CHRIS' EYES CREASING A LITTLE AND I GIGGLE
AT THE SLIGHTUPS THING, ANYWAY. AND BOB WEISS REALIZED WE WERE
IMPOSSIBLE, CLOSED THE SET, WE WENT TO LUNCH. I PRAYED I WOULDN'T GIGGLE
ANYMORE BECAUSE I WAS. IT'S VERY HARD TO BE NOSE TO
NOSE DOING A LOVE SCENE AND HAVING THESE AWFUL SOUNDS COMING
AT YOU. >> Stephen: SO. ♪ SOMEWHERE IN MY YOUTH AND
CHILD -- ♪ AND THEN THE SOUND. >> YES, AND THEN THE DIALOGUE. ( LAUGHTER )
CAME BACK, HAD LUNCH STARTED OVER AGAIN. ROBERT WEISS SAID WALK INTO THE
SILHOUETTE, I'LL SHOOT IT AT THE DOOR, WONDERFUL SHOT, WHICH WAS
GREAT SERENDIPITY, AND THEN YOU CAN LAUGH ALL YOU LIKE BECAUSE
IT WON'T SHOW. MIDDLE EAST WE SHUT UP, AND IT
WAS JUST FINE. ( LAUGHTER )
BUT IT'S A STORY I REMEMBER VERY WELL. >> Stephen: ONE OF MY OTHER
FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD IS YOUR DEAR FRIEND CAROL BURNETT. >> OH, GOD, SHE'S SUCH A CHUM. >> Stephen: AND YOU ARE
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. ( APPLAUSE )
I HAD MIRE A PRO, TOO. SHE'S SUCH A PRO. YOU DID THREE SPECIALS TOGETHER,
I UNDERSTAND. >> YES. >> Stephen: WHEN YOU'RE
TOGETHER -- >> AND SHE'S MY LOVELY
DAUGHTER'S GODMOTHER, THE ONE WHO HELPED ME WITH THE BOOK,
TOO. >> Stephen: THIS BOOK. YES, THAT ONE, AND THERE WAS
ONE BEFORE THAT -- >> Stephen: "HOME WORK." THERE WAS ONE CALLED "HOME"
BEFORE THIS. >> ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO THERE WAS
A BOOK CALLED "HOME" EMMA HELPED ME WITH TREMENDOUSLY AND THIS
ONE, TOO. >> Stephen: CAROL IS
MISCHIEVOUS. WHO IS MORE MISCHIEVOUS, YOU OR
HER? >> WELL, I HAVE TO SAY SHE
BRINGS OUT THE WORST IN ME. ( LAUGHTER )
I GET TO BE PRETTY RAUNCHY AND VERY WICKED AND I THINK SHE GETS
SHOCKED SOMETIMES. >> Stephen: WHAT ARE SOME OF
THE THINGS YOU SAY. >> WELL, I CAN'T POSSIBLY REPEAT
ALL OF THEM, BUT DR. . >> Stephen: CAN YOU REPEAT ANY
OF THEM? IT IS CBS, I'M NOT SURE --
>> CAN WE MOVE ALONG. >> Stephen: MOVING ALONG. THANK YOU, STEPHEN. >> Stephen: YOU HAVE THE NEW
BOOK, "HOME WORK." >> YES. >> Stephen: AND IN IT YOU'RE
ACTUALLY VERY OPEN ABOUT THE ROLE THAT THERAPY HAS PLAYED IN
YOUR LIFE. >> YEAH. >> Stephen: WHEN DID YOU FIRST
START GOING TO THERAPY? >> OH, SADLY, I SEPARATED FROM
MY LOVELY FIRST HUSBAND AND SEPARATIONS WERE ALWAYS
INEVITABLE, AND THE MARRIAGE WAS OVER, AND MY HEAD WAS SO FULL OF
CLUTTER AND GARBAGE, AND I THOUGHT -- BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT
WAS MIKE NICHOLS WHO REALLY TIPPED ME INTO WANTING TO GO TO
THERAPY, BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN -- I DON'T THINK HE'D MIND ME
SAYING THAT NOW -- AND HE WAS SO SANE AND FUNNY AND CLEAR. HE HAD A CLARITY THAT I ADMIRED
SO MUCH, AND I WANTED THAT FOR MYSELF AND I DIDN'T FEEL I'D HAD
IT. SO I WENT AND GOT INTO IT AND IT
SAVED MY LIFE IN A WAY. >> Stephen: WHY DID YOU WANT
TO SHARE THAT? WHY WAS THAT IMPORTANT FOR YOU? >> THE TRUTH IS, STEPHEN, WHY
NOT, IF IT HELPS ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THE SAME IDEA? ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YEAH, AND THESE DAYS, THERE'S NO HARM IN SHARING IT. I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS THE
GREAT WORK IT CAN DO, AND ANYBODY THAT IS LUCKY ENOUGH TO
HAVE IT, AFFORD IT AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT, I THINK IT
WOULD BE WONDERFUL, YEAH. >> Stephen: WELL, JULIE, THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. ALWAYS, WOW, A PLEASURE! >> FOR ME, STEPHEN. >> Stephen: THE BOOK IS
AVAILABLE NOW. JULIE ANDREWS, EVERYBODY! WE'LL BE BACK WITH BROADWAY STAR
JONATHAN GROFF!
