Happy 100th birthday, Julia Child! The legendary TV chef died in 2004, but in so many ways she is very much still alive and with us. If your kitchen features a pegboard for hanging pots and spoons, a little bit of Julia lives with you. She "invented" that idea. And she was the original American celebrity chef with her television shows, especially The French Chef. Julia Child was imposingly tall and authoritative yet goofy and utterly generous. She was hilarious. And most importantly, she gave Americans the courage to cook more adventurously. I've gathered together a collection of Julia Child videos, clips from her show and even a little snippet from the movie that immortalized her, Julia and Julia.![]()
