We think it's safe to say that pretty much everyone knows about Mary Poppins! But what do you know about the real life woman who gave Pamela Lyndon the inspiration to create the character? Yes, there was a "real" Mary Poppins and she came into the author's life at a time when she was really needed! Not only was that character inspired by P.L. Travers' great aunt Helen Morehead, but so was the main character in her short story "Aunt Sass." Although she's a beloved figure, making her into a film starring actress Julie Andrews wasn't easy. Not a lot of people said "no" to Walt Disney but this author was one of them. And when the film finally got made she wasn't a big fan since she felt it had deviated too far from the original story. We'll talk about what the studio got right and what the author belives they got totally wrong. We wonder what she would have thought about the sequel starring actress Emily Blunt!
