"The discrepancy was hard, because I was straddling two universes," Julia said, adding that her father's wealth made her feel "sort of ashamed" around her sisters Lauren and Amy, who only knew the decidedly upper-middle-class life Daddy Tom and Judith were providing for them. "I used to come home from Christmas and hide presents in the closet, because I didn't want them to see," she said.
"To Laurie and to Amy, he was sort of Daddy Warbucks up there," Judith added. "We certainly were not poor people, but by contrast there was a huge chasm."
