It had been eight years since I first made the leap across the Atlantic from England to Broadway. At that time, I was 19, totally on my own, and desperately worried about leaving my dysfunctional family behind and the huge unknown that awaited me. Now, here I was, with three shows— The Boy Friend, My Fair Lady, and Camelot —and several thousand performances on Broadway and in London behind me, beginning yet another journey into a new unknown: Hollywood.
This time, thankfully, I was not alone. My husband, Tony, was with me. We were embarking on this new adventure together, along with our baby daughter, Emma. We were green as grass, had no knowledge of the film industry, and could not possibly envision what lay ahead—but we were industrious, open-minded, and we had each other. We were also blessed to have the great Walt Disney to guide us. Tony and I spent a few days getting over jet lag and settling in.
Emma was only three months old, and we had brought her nanny, Wendy, with us to help care for her during the five days a week that we would be working. On weekends, she could take time off and we would have Emma to ourselves.
I was still breastfeeding my baby, and I hoped to do so for as long as possible. I had a fair way to go to get myself back into pre-pregnancy shape, so I was grateful that there would be a period of dance rehearsals before filming began.
Tony and I had visited there once before, and we were again struck by the sunny ease of the place; the shady trees and beautifully manicured lawns upon which people relaxed or played table tennis during their lunch hour. Neatly arranged bungalow offices, several large soundstages, construction sheds, and a main theater were dominated by a much larger three-story structure known as the Animation Building.
His international empire encompassed film, television, and even a theme park, yet he was modest and gracious. I was provided with a car and driver for the first two or three weeks, but eventually, the Studios loaned me a vehicle of my own when it was assumed that I knew my way around. My first weeks at the Walt Disney Studios were consumed with meetings, and wardrobe and wig fittings. I was struck by the differences between preparing for a film role and preparing for a stage performance.
For a play or musical, the first few days are spent in script readings and laying out the staging of the scenes. A film, however, is usually shot out of sequence, and in very small increments. Travers had created. The time period of the film had been changed from the s to , as Walt felt that late Edwardian England would provide richer visual opportunities, and Tony agreed.
What was her background? How did she move, walk, talk? Never having made a film before, and having no specific acting training to fall back on, I was relying on instinct. I decided to try giving Mary a particular walk. I felt that she would never stroll leisurely, so I practiced on the soundstage, walking as fast as I could, placing one foot immediately after the other to give the impression of hardly touching the ground—the end result being that the children would find it difficult to keep up with her.
I recalled certain members of flying ballet troupes from my vaudeville days who had simply let their feet dangle, and I always thought it detracted from the effect. It was during dance rehearsals that I first met Dick Van Dyke.
He was already well established as a consummate comedian; he had starred in Bye Bye Birdie on Broadway and in the film, and had completed the first two seasons of his famous sitcom, The Dick Van Dyke Show.
