Julia Child - Archive Interview Excerpts

This is a lot of fun if you are into Julia. Here she takes you into her modest kitchen. It is fun to see her pot's on the wall with circles drawn behind them to help her put them into the correct place when finished. She was a neat gal!

She was a raging homophobe, too. But I choose to overlook that despicable trait in this one case because our Julia looked like a big old drag queen, herself.

Uh, Eugene-

attribution, please?

Jim Beard was one of her best friends, and he was a big old homo.

Apparently she didn't care about sexual orientation, but she disliked effeminate men and masculine women:

Interesting to see how she came full circle in her attitudes and beliefs, from a woman of her time in the 1940s, to a more modern thinker. What a true professional she really was.
