Her mum wanted her to be a nurse so that is what Julie did.
But in her heart she had always wanted to be an actress and soon she was on stage at the local theatre in Liverpool. Her career snowballed with highlights that include Educating Rita, Billy Elliot, Harry Potter, Acorn Antiques, Dinner Ladies and Mamma Mia! She has been nominated for two Oscars, been awarded multiple BAFTAs and a Golden Globe, plus been honoured with a DBE. This is the heart-warming and funny story of that journey.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Walters's book - also well written - has moments of Alan Bennett warmth * SUNDAY TIMES *
This is a humorous and, at times, moving read from this much-loved actress * WOMAN & HOME *
I was enthralled by her memoirs ... a celebrity memoir which is actually worth reading as a work of literature -- A N Wilson * READER'S DIGEST *
THAT'S ANOTHER STORY is funny, evocative, reasonably revealing and underpinned throughout by an appealing sense of humanity. * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
The Walters who emerges from THAT'S ANOTHER STORY is a mischievous Brummie whose childhood seems to belong to an earlier century, with its horse-drawn milkcart. * GUARDIAN *
If you can imagine Julie Walters sitting down to tell you the story of her life...this earthy, moving, none too sentimental memoir...is just as you would imagine it. * INDEPENDENT *
characteristically amusing and astute * GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
