WALTERS SETS RECORD FOR SPILLING HER STRUGGLES

British actress/comedienne JULIE WALTERS has sold her life story for a record breaking GBP1.6 million ($3 million).

Julie Walters at the RTS programme awards 2006 held at Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane. London, England - 14.03.06

The memoirs mark a record fee for a UK celebrity autobiography and Walters promises it'll be worth the money.

In it, the actress charts her troubled years with alcohol, as well as the turbulent relationship with her mother after she quit a nursing qualification for a career in acting.

Walters recalls, "My mother hated me abandoning it.

"I had to get my two brothers and father to stand between me and her when I handed in my notice.

"She then said if I took up acting I'd be in the gutter by the time I was 20."
