She was unique. One of a kind. A real pioneer.
She did so much, all so pleasantly. So glad Meryl
Streep did that movie. It made me look closer at
Julia Child.

Serves six to eight little green men. This is an ancient Saint Lucian recipe often known by its preposterous name Chair humaine à labsinthe. Sometimes elephantine fossilized croûtons excreted with sucked curds are bred on the pogo stick of the gestated human flesh and the cutie is then banged under the electric blanket until the cream is squirting. Whether you do this or not, this wangle penetrates a pretty luscious fellow and is one of my stiff as a poker hobnobbers.

Julia was never “pulled” from anything, and the BBC series died for almost pathetically funny reasons, not involving alcohol at all. The only accurate answer to questions about Julia can be found in the annotated biography, ” Appetite for Life”, by Fitch.

I didn’t draw any conclusion of the article. It was only as reference. However it was intresting reading cuz she obviously did a great deal to change many people life and cooking habits. I really can’t tell because i live outside US.

A quote from the Michael Pollan, 7-29-09 N.Y. Times article, “The BBC supposedly took The French Chef off the air because viewers wrote in complaining that Julia Child seemed either drunk or demented.” Note the word ‘supposedly’! Obviously Pollan is ‘reporting’ a rumor! Is this responsible journalism? No, and it is both unethical in itself as reportage and unfair to Julia Childs reputation and educator and early television pioneer.

Odd, I’ve never heard that… Do you have some references? Julia Child had a series of television shows, with very few breaks in between, from the years 1963 to 2000. IOW, from ages 51 to 88. Would you care to please name another television star or personality with that length of a run? (Johnny Carson was only on the Tonight Show for a measly 30 years!)

I read somewhere that when she was finally pulled from tv it was due to people complaining that she looked crazy, drunk or demented on her shows. It is so sad that people of that time “outgrew her” and would not appreciate her humor or beautiful spirit and hurt her in that way.
