Career

She briefly appeared as a child in Alfred Hitchcock's Torn Curtain (1966), sitting on Hitchcock's knee in his trademark cameo appearance (her mother had a leading role in the film).

From 1983 to 1991, she had a few bit parts in films and television.

In 1991, she, her husband, and veteran British-American actress Sybil Christopher founded the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, New York. This independent non-profit theatre is still in operation as of 2015. Walton-Hamilton was the theatre's Artistic co-Director and Director of Education and Programming for Young Audiences for 17 years.

In 2000, she began writing books for children in collaboration with her mother, starting with Dumpy the Dumptruck. They wrote 13 "Dumpy" books, of which 12 were illustrated by her father Tony Walton, who had remained friends with her mother despite their divorce. Walton-Hamilton and Andrews have co-written 31 children's books, including the "Dumpy" books, The Great American Mousical (2006), also illustrated by Walton, two "Bonnie Boadicea" novels for middle schoolers, The Very Fairy Princess (2010) and 11 "Very Fairy" sequels, and two unrelated novels. They have also co-edited two anthologies of poetry and songs, and one concept book, Thanks to You: Wisdom From Mother and Child. The spoken-word version of Julie Andrews' Collection Of Poems, Songs, And Lullabies won a 2010 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children.

Walton-Hamilton and Andrews contributed to Kate Dawson, Jodi Glucksman, and Barbara Buck-Aronica's Over the Moon: The Broadway Lullaby Project (2012), a book with accompanying CD.

Walton-Hamilton has also written Raising Bookworms: Getting Kids Reading for Pleasure and Empowerment (2009).

In 2016 Walton Hamilton created the preschool television series Julie's Greenroom with her mother and Judy Rothman. The show will star Julie Andrews who will be joined by her assistant Gus (Giullian Yao Gioiello) and “Greenies,” a cast of original puppets built by The Jim Henson Company and will premiere on Netflix in 2017.
