I have a friend who is a cuter version of NE and got to meet her and was really disappointed, said she was a big phony. Evidently I miised her. Can't deny her talent however.
Would be interesting to see how the French will react to this movie, and in general what is the general opinion there about Julia Child.
Hey, wasn't Julia a spy before she was ever a chef? No, seriously. Is that in the film?
Ah, the voice of a privileged foody on NPR. How refreshing!
In 2007, Ms. Ephron wrote that then Senator Obama was a "disappointment from the beginning."
Does Ms. Ephron sill view the president as a disappointment?
In 2007, Ms. Ephron wrote, "And then there are the Democrats in the Congress. What a bunch of losers."
Does Ms. Ephron sill view Democratic representatives as "losers"?
Thanks honey.
