I probably won't be reading the book. One thing that did strike me about the movie (and not sure if this came across in the book or not) is what an unlikely role model Julia Child is/was. She was unconventional, childless, tall, lanky, unattractive by most standards, and awkaward. Yet, she seemed to have a passion and playfullness about life. She also managed to be perhaps the most famously known persona in a completely male dominated profession. Maybe it was Streep's performance which was excellent, but I gained a new and great respect for her. Of course I'm a big foodie, so I enjoyed that part as well.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07632541487016020760noreply@blogger.com
