Julie Andrews Quotes

“At this point, one of the elevators went ‘ping!’ so I whipped Carol across my lap, making it look as if I had her in a full embrace. The doors opened … and the elevator was packed ….

And then once more. And then once again—until the phenomenon eventually resulted in a record-setting first release run of over four and a half years.”
