[beagreatspirit98]

Thumbs up if Julie and Julia got you here?

[AustinHobs]

Those 7 dislikes can lick my butt hole.



[TheRuthyroo]

I love you, Julia. How could anyone dislike this video?

[Borellistudio]

I love you Julia. I just do.

[ZEITGEISTism]

She was such a good soul ...I wish she was my aunt or mother I just feel like hugging her! What a genuinely good ,nice and sweet person Julia Child was

[guaranagrl]

I hope I stay that sharp at her age.

[poosaypirate]

love you forever Julia, Thank YOU SO MUCH for making America Shine!

you are wonderful!

[MsLesset]

@Soonablu; why would that be important, obviously Streep has been professional enough. In my opinion Meryl Streep did a fabulous job, the movie makes a lot of people happy and I'm pretty sure there was an increase in sales of the books about Julia Child as well as Child's cookbook.

[Ntyler01mil]

Forget that Dos Equis guy. Julia Child is one of the most interesting people of all time.

[tubetoad]

Blessings, Dear Julia. LISTEN TO HER, folks-

[peytbass]

Fantastic "interview"

[oatcircles]

Love being able to watch and listen to Julia Child. The only reason I have come to be interested is because of Julie and Julia book/movie. Thank goodness for that! The interviewer tho in my opinion sounds like a young lawyer doing one of his first depositions. "Can you state your full name please" and it goes on in that style. Funny.

[senorita212]

@oatcircles its a method of documentation. So that future generations will have all the details.



[julchedid94]

She is really inspirational, for both men and women!!

[whatsgoingonyall]

she made everyone in the kitchen laugh... tks for spreading the love julia you are trully missed

[theWORLDisSPIKE]

esta peda..lol

[mrsjoshica]

Nostalgia. I remember watching this with my grandma on PBS. I miss my granny, and it is things like this that bring me back to that happy place with great memories. :)

[crewlla]

there is actually two mastering the art of french cooking books. the second one doesnt have Louisette Bertholie in it.

[Bronson1886]

What an amazing woman i love her she was a great lady i wish she was my grandma.

[chkjns]

@Bronson1886 And HOW ! ! ! A gracious lady with an amazing sense of humor able to always laugh through her own folly. My channel is mostly about music, 550 playlists of it, but I started a list for Heroes awhile back & realized today she needed to be on it. An inspiration to us all, she didn't just conquer an all-male domain, she conquered the domain dominated by snotty French MEN ! ! !

She had class . . . . . . . . . .

[mistyneal28]

wow she was so smart and had an awesome memory.God Bless you sweetie R.I.P Julia.xoxo

[amandacarnegie1]

I've just whatched Julie&Julia and thought it was wonderful.

I've had the book Mastering the Art of French Cooking for years, it's been insperational and fool proof!

[ccm800]

Gawd what a memory! 

[charisfulone]

This woman was classy and such a tremendous inspiration to her craft. She left an amazing legacey behind and had a lovley personality. She seemed to be one of those people you would always want around you. She was witty and had a way of saying things that was original and comical, i'm so sure that she brought alot of joy wherever she went. She was so with it for a lady of her age she makes me want to grow old gracefully. I hope I live to be in my 90s like she did.

[LiturgicalChants]

I did not think Ms Streeps performance was particularly similar to the original.

Julia Child had a distinctive charming personality that is especially hard to impersonate. May her memory be eternal. Requiscat in Pace.

[mydogprick]

wow it was like meryl became julia child i almost forget that i wasn't watching the real julia gr8 actor

[boxrokmysox]

I think that the people that get to be that old are either pretty calm and happy or have the best genes ever... All I can hope for is to get to live to 70 :) stupid type 1 diabetes :( Julia childs was and still is awesome, I remember when I used to see her shows on PBS and falling asleep to that wonderful voice :)

[misskeen13]

@ Kashmir2000is Hmm.... even though she ate all that butter, she still lived to be 91.. That just let's you know that its not just the butter.....Just saying.

[irish89055]

tooodayyyy we're cooking a leg of lamb..( big slap of the meat).....

I didn't know youtube allowed clips this long...

[msesisters3]

love julia still. want to go back to those days

[Eivan10R]

i think she was 86 in this interview.

[BallroomDavid]

An American Great.

RIP

[strfruit]

she sounds a bit like dame edna :-) love them both :-)

[LauraBeachnut]

you mean... DANE EDNA....... sounds like JUUUUULIA!

[mullalyl]

Nope, it's Dame Edna Everidge.

[2bsplendid]

Watched the movie for the first time today. Loved it! I cannot get over how wonderfully gracious and well liked she truly was. I really enjoyed the interview and listening to her sweet voice. She was so humble and so easy to listen to.

[totally0511]

she look pretty bcuz she always enjoy good food. &she dont care wether its not healthy bcuz all the butter&stuffs. the most important think, u do what u like... :)

[Kashmir2000is]

@totally0511 No, you do not do what you want. That attitude is why we are in the trouble we are in, and more still coming if we don't wake up.

Julia used all that butter, etc. because we didn't have the information that we do today. It would go hand in hand with those cigarette commercials during the same time period.

Everything should be done in moderation.

And just because we can doesn't mean we should.

Julia fan since I was a kid.

[jackthayer]

i hope i can live a happy life like her

[onyxone144]

Julie and Julia gave attention back to this culinarily expressive woman. I believe she enjoyed her life and I'm glad for the glimpse into that time in our history.

[Phinfan2006]

I used to watch Julia with my Grandmother when I was a child in the early 70's. My wife and I watched the movie the first time tonight and loved it. My Grandmother was also a great cook(Italian, but cooked EVERYTHING!)). I'd help her make meals, and those memories cooking with her in the summers and on the weekends during school years are some of the finest times in my life. She passed in '92 and is greatly missed, just as Julia is missed by her family and friends. RIP Julia and G-Ma Louise

[FeileCase]

BRASH interviewer~

[davet1515]

I would agree with you

[catlover3033]

What a lovely lady with a brilliant mind!! I have just seen the movie Julie & Julia and thought Meryl Streep played a fantastic role. I saw No Streep in the movie just a wonderful perfomance of Julia Child from a wonderful actress. Well done Meryl!!!!

[BroadcastingTube]

what year is this from?

[mlamta]

june 25, 1999 (stated at the beginning of the interview)

[schoolgurl21]

I just love Julia, not only she showed that it is possible for normal everyday women are able to cook french food, But her marrige to Paul just gives us hope for a timeless love that they had.

Thanks Julia!

[ellenpaaimans]

She is fantastic love her and came to know her due to the movie with Merryl Streep she is a fantastic woman +5

[Lisanab]

still ... it felt sad in so many ways

[stoppingin]

omg, i am half her age then and i can't remember half of my life--sweet, sweet lady--i wish i met her in real life.

[nyjeen5]

shes amazing

[girlishfun]

fascinating lady! so adorable you just want to hug her. the interviewer sounds too close to the microphone and at times he sounds like a doctor asking for vitals. julia is just a sweetheart! how lucky she makes you feel to watch her. thanks for posting!

[cannibalmonkey13]

she has amazing skin for an 87 year old! @_@

[pookoos]

I know. All that butter and cream hasn't done her any harm at all! She lived to be almost 92.

[5277407]

Good point! I went back to bacon and eggs for breakfast...with buttered toast. yumm

[suka7emogirl]

the good cook is good for the skin??xDDD

[msesisters3]

This interview is so well done!! (thanks to the excellent interviewer, Michael Rosen (sp.?). ) He allowed Julia to elaborate, and therefore we have this valuable first hand acount of her fascinating life. He deserves an award for this!!! It's PRICELSS!! That being said she is an utterly fascinating, fun loving, interesting, unpretenscious, adoring and amazing woman..., with a fantastic memory. I loved her book, "My Life in France"..so so enjoyable!!! love her.!!!

[globehunter2]

She had a full and colorful Life` you can actually feel her kind and loving spirit. She made her mark especially in the art of French Cooking. Long live Julia,s spirit.

[sunny3377]

fascinating woman! and her spirit is so admirable.

[APatronOfTheArts]

Did you know that Julia was almost 6'3" ?

[Peonieful]

so am I! I am freakin gigantic!

[binkle1]

She actually went and got a facelift! Not our Julia!

[watkinsrsx85]

she is so great!!

[Charmed7633]

she was explaining how they told her not to tell anyone about that "secret" voyage and she just spread it acrost youtube. lol. but i guess no one cares, due to the fact it was so long ago.

she is so adorable.

[attackofthepoprocks]

She seems like she would have been a hoot to be friends with.

[senator9870]

A "leisurely butterfly life".

God bless her.

[JuliaandAshofficial]

Shes so adorable I love her and the movie!@!!

[jsparakov]

All of that butter and good eating kept her brain strong.

[Darkshine42]

From what I see in this interview, Julia was a very real, down to earth persoin. If she came from a "privileged" background, she sure doesn't seem uppity. The United states in her day when she was a young person was like a different world from today.

[cpmkw]

I love Julia, but I'm a little disappointed to see that she came from such a privileged background. "There were always servants, cooks and maids." In the depression "We were sent to private school and there were always servants."

I admire what she's done, but it has to be admitted that many, many people with the kind of leisure lifestyle she's had could have a equally successfully and happily indulged in their passion, and made a success of it.

Must be nice.

[ez2bknd]

Why is it a crime to come from a privileged family? She still did her part and went to school and worked and did a heck of a lot for the WWII efforts. 

I commend her more, because she didn't have to do anything and did move forward with a lot of CLASS!!!

[EtzEchad]

She didn't come from a privileged background. It was common for middle-class people to have a maid or a cook. Look at the sitcomms from the 50's -- there was always a maid.

She had a leisure lifestyle because she was a woman and unmarried women didn't work in those days.

[redtailhawkbodie]

Meryl Streep WAS Julia Child.

[vicky2c]

I thought Meryl was amazing and so was Amy Adams:)

[asta2500]

I saw the movie this evening, and it is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. Meryl Streep does an incredible job and is simply miraculous as Julia... the perfect choice in my opinion!

[lasuvidaboy]

She was a facinating lady! Some people think she was from New England because of her accent but she has a classic upper-class Pasadena accent which is still around today.

[xFineTakeYourBanana]

Aww yesterday was her birthday. The day I saw the movie.

:)

[fishwinter1]

Meryl Streep was an unfortunate choice for Julia Child. Streep doesn't act, she impersonates her. Streep does that "I'm so cleverly droll" thing, where she finds herself so entertaining. I've read and watched a lot of Julia Child, and I think the performance is hollow and all Meryl. There's a basic modesty to the Child's flamboyance that is lightyears beyond Streep. The film trailer made my skin crawl....

[DavidRobertLaman]

No, Meryl Steep did not impersonate Julia Child in her performance. That's not opinion; it's fact. So there.

[bbs5ekata]

I must agree, as a professional actor and teacher, you have hit the nail on the head. The "loopy" qualities were laid on just about 5 scenes too frequently. Though there is a lot of Streep in it, that might have been OK if she had sunk down into the role with serious intent, but one felt she was enjoying playing AT it with Tucci to much to do so., having a good time rather than focusing on deepth in some key scenes. I see enthusiasm for an enjoyable film made your comment unpopular.

[cookie3008]

OMG!! Meryl steep REALLY nailed the part.. ive seen videos of the real Julia Child before..and I saw the movie a couple of days ago, and I thought Meryl did an astonishing job as always.. but right now that im listening to her again... Meryl was truly amazing... and this woman was an amazing cook. I have difficulty making myself a sandwich xD

[Skatejock21]

amen! She did nail that part. I just saw that movie 2 hours ago...

[06bleach06]

@cookie3008 omg you are sooo right meryl streep was absolutely perfect for the part just from watching julie and julia i fell in love with julia child and tried to make beouf bourbignon ..... it was a disaster haha but ill try again

[neilerone]

A priceless woman.......A great cook and GOOD leo...august 15th.

[Taino07272002]

Julia was and will always be a gem. We don't have that kind of stock any more..

fabulous!

[TheUniversalGarden]

Just saw the move Julie & Julia and was teary eyed in many spots of the film. I'd give it a 9.1 out of a scale of 1 to 10. An "A" grade movie. Go see it! Since, seeing the movie, I'm hooked on learning all about Julia Child . . . Really an "American" who we should all know about!

[corso02860]

Meryl Streep is Amazing in portraying Julia. She has the voice and characteristics in detail. Meryl even mimicks the straightening of the back when Julia would sit up as if she suddenly remembered to keep good posture. The movie is worth seeing.

[asta2500]

"Meryl even mimicks the straightening of the back when Julia would sit up as if she suddenly remembered to keep good posture."

I noticed that too, and thought it was simply brilliant!

[RogeyHilton]

Julia Child is so cute

she was amazing and funny

&& a very Jolly woman <3

[nydia52]

Just saw the movie; 2 thumbs up!

[Sergionewyork]

I am from Mexico.. love this woman ..... too bad I never watched this program! she is very clever!

[davidstighansen]

Prepare to get a lot of visits due to the new movie with Meryl Streep playing Julia, and Amy Adams.

[tatuboi25]

i remember being 5yrs old, and i watched one of her shows with my mom.. i actually became famillier with her 'cuz i was infactuated with her height.... my mom is gone now.. and seeing the preview struck memories of being with my mother and made me cry :'(.. i cant wait to see the movie lolz

[trideegurl2]

thats a great memory! :D itll make the movie special! i just loved how different she was from most home-cooking, and I stink at cooking so she made it more fun for me.

[ONLY1BLAZE]

I want to watch her cook, she was so outlandish!

[swimmercolton]

Even here at age 86, she has her trade mark sense of humor and cheery, can-do attitude!

[glennofohio]

As Julia Child would say "DON'T BE AFRAID"!!!!!

[tdstray4]

Saw the movie last night at a special viewing. If you love Julia Child, go see this! Even if you vaguely know who she is and have been forced to watch her by your mother as a child, go see this! It's very amazing! Meryl Streep was perfect!

[clovrmay]

Shes my new hero!!! What a superstar, I'm absolutely in lurve with her. Cant wait for the movie:)

[heya1980]

What a beautiful reason to show how valuable our elders are! Everyone needs a video acrchive of their loved ones!

[BrianJunglist]

saw the film about her tonight, it was pretty good.

[simsguildwars]

hwo coudl y ou it didnt come out yet.

[animalloverclm]

everyone who had made their living doing food shows on food network and the like should thank her--she was the original and helped start it all

[studio54jojo]

she's so charming

[yarrr426]

I grew up watching Julia Child on TV. I looooved her fruity voice and hearty feeling for food.

[dubbedcrazy]

according to anthony bourdain,

julia never whored her self out,

she never sold anything for nobody.

martha is still gangsta even though lol

[gege65]

She is adorable!

[buiiethill]

I never knew she Is American, kinda sounds Britsh alittle

[sisalrug]

It's so interesting, the story about shark repellant; I just saw "Dirty Jobs" the Mike Rowe series on discovery, the episode about shark repellant, and the "new" breakthrough discovery they are using is exactly as she describes!

[sisalrug]

She obviously has a brilliant mind.
