A letter received by a fan from Julie's fanmail coordinator confirms that Julie was working on Volume Two of her autobiography before Blake's passing, and continues to do so now.
Also, for those seeking autographs: A new photograph is now being sent out (unsigned) to those requesting autographs. It is a publicity picture of Julie during the shooting of The Princess Diaries.

Chris Colfer stills wants Julie on Glee:
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-a ... 99218.htmlChris Colfer wants Dame Julie Andrews to have a cameo in 'Glee'.
The 21-year-old actor thinks the 75-year-old screen and stage legend - famous for her roles in musicals 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Sound of Music' - would be perfect to play his character Kurt Hummel's grandmother on the TV show.
He said: "I just want Julie Andrews in it, that's all. I just want Julie Andrews to come and play my grandmother and then I'd be happy. That's all I need."
Chris' co-star Lea Michele loves it when 'Glee' gets a guest star but prefers it when show boss Ryan Murphy keeps their appearances a secret from the regular cast.
In a joint interview with Chris for Britain's Marie Claire magazine, she said: "I like being surprised - I say this all the time. I like hearing through the grapevine that Gwyneth Paltrow's going to be in next week's episode. I think that not knowing is definitely more fun."
Previous guest stars have included Gwyneth Paltrow - who has had two separate mini-runs in the show as substitute Spanish teacher Holly Holliday - and Britney Spears who had an episode dedicated to her music.

Julie recently appeared at the Lincoln Center in New York to attend a screening of her late husband Blake Edwards' Breakfast at Tiffany's. Before the screening she participated in a short question and answer segment.

Julie-news:
Julie and Emma will appear on The Today Show, November 3rd.
She'll also appear at Saks 5th Avenue on November 2nd for a booksigning, 4 PM.
Next year, Julie and Emma will release the third book in "The Very Fairy Princess" series, The Very Fairy Princess: Here Comes the Flower Girl! on April 24th.

Not directly Julie-related, but still:

I find it fascinating how so many of the films Julie did that weren't based on B'way musicals, are all finding their way to the stage.

I can't believe that it's been a year already; maybe it's because I'm in school and it's been very hectic this last semester, but it doesn't seem like a year. I hope Julie and the rest of the family are doing better and, as you said, found some peace (especially since it's so close to Christmas).UmbrellaFish wrote:Today marks one year since the passing of Julie Andrews' husband, acclaimed director of The Pink Panther, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Victor/Victoria, Blake Edwards. I'm sure it's not been an easy year for Julie and her family, but I hope they find some peace this day and this holiday season.
