1) How old are you in 2011? Real Julie Drake: “44.”
Bryony’s Julie Drake: “49.”
2) Tell me about your father:
“Real” Julie Drake: “My dad died in 1974, so that part of my life is a blur. There were five of us, and we were so poor, but you would never know it. I just remember we lived off our garden and how my older sister fixed my hair and got me ready for the school bus. We also spent a lot of time with my aunt because my mom was so busy with my dad.”
Bryony’s Julie Drake: “I am an only child and my father is very much well and alive. However, my friend Melissa’s dad died in 1975 after a long battle with diabetes. Her mother was struggling to make ends meet, so when an opportunity opened up in Munsonville, she took it.”
3) Did you like school?
“Real” Julie Drake: “I got good enough grades, average. I could have done better if I tried, but I was not big on school. I would rather work with horses.”
Bryony’s Julie Drake: “I loved school and learning about new things. Besides, I needed good grades to get into a great school. I saw education as the only way to leave Munsonville and never come back.”
4) Did you have any pets?
“Real” Julie Drake: “I was very passionate about horses. My aunt had a bunch of horses. When I got off the bus, I would do my chores right away and go riding until dark.”
Bryony’s Julie Drake: “I used to like cats—I had several growing up—until the weekend Melissa’s family went to Detroit, and I kept her little brother’s cat for the weekend. That cat freaked me out so much, I never wanted another one.”
5) Describe your personality when you were fourteen:
“Real” Julie Drake: “I was very outgoing and confident, but I didn’t need to be the center of attention.”
Bryony’s Julie Drake: “Ditto.”
6) How did you dress as a teen?
“Real” Julie Drake: “Jeans and T-shirt or sweatshirt. I hate shopping. I don’t go to ten stores to get the best price. I find what I need and leave.”
Bryony’s Julie Drake: “I was that way, too, and still am.”
7) Did you play an instrument?
"Real" Julie Drake: "I did take piano lessons when I was younger, as did all of my siblings. The teacher told my mom out of all of her five children, I was the one that had the most talent for the piano. But no, I don't play it now."
Bryony's Julie Drake: Yes, piano, because my parents made me. It was okay, but I don't play anymore.
Bryony’s Julie Drake: “49.”
