>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY! WELCOME BACK!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) LADIES AND GENTLEMEN --
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I FEEL THE SAME WAY!
I FEEL THE SAME WAY!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, 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 )
>> 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!
