Julie Andrews

Picture
Julia Elizabeth Wells was born on 1 October 1935 in Walton-on-Thames. Her mother, Barbara Ward Wells was born in Chertsey and married Edward Charles "Ted" Wells in 1932. However, Andrews was conceived as a result of an affair her mother had with a family friend believed to be Alfred Westmacott, a boat builder who designed the popular XOD sailboat. Andrews discovered her true parentage from her mother in 1950,although it was not publicly disclosed until her 2008 autobiography.

With the outbreak of World War II, Barbara and Ted Wells went their separate ways and were soon divorced. They both remarried: Barbara to Ted Andrews, in 1943, and Ted Wells to Winifred Maud in 1944.  The Andrews family took up residence at the Old Meuse, in West Grove, Hersham, a house (now demolished) where Andrews' maternal grandmother had served as a maid.
