DescriptionAnyone watching the seventeen-year-old Julia Morris singing Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out For A Hero' on NEW FACES could tell two things ...she had guts and she had talent. Not too many years later, Julia got her big break (alongside Eric Bana) on the Logie award-winning comedy sketch show FULL FRONTAL. From that platform she went on to other television and radio and she soon became one of Australia's most-loved female comedians with roles on IN MELBOURNE TONIGHT, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, GREAT AUSSIE BLOOPERS, GLADIATORS, THE MIDDAY SHOW, WHO DARES WINS and GOOD MORNING AUSTRALIA. She was young, successful ...and single, so in 2000, like so many Aussies before her, Julia decided to try her luck overseas and jetted off to the UK. There was no instant success. She had to work hard to find her way in the much larger pond. Julia spent eight years in the UK and ended up claiming both commercial and critical success on stage, radio and television. Promotion infoA memoir from one of Australia's best-loved comedians that tells of her years in the UK, living, working, frocking up, dating, falling in love, getting married, and giving birth to her first child. Author descriptionSince returning to Australia after eight years in the UK, 'Lady' Julia Morris simply hasn't stopped. She has featured on every major commercial television channel, on shows including Celebrity Apprentice, Good News Week, Sunrise and Thank God You're Here - and was series team captain on Foxtel's Astra award-winning The Singing Office. Julia and her opera superstar partner David Hobson not only won the third series of Channel 7's hit show It Takes Two, but, with their interpretations of songs like Tina Turner's 'We Don't Need Another Hero' and the 'Habanera' from Bizet's Carmen, also provided the nation with some of its most memorable TV moments. This is her first book. |
