By the time I was six years old in 1967 I could impersonate Julia Child perfectly much to the dismay of my parents. I would run around our Brooklyn apartment saying, “Welcome to the French Chef, I’m Julia Child.” I absolutely adored and was fascinated by her cooking. While most children were asking for Mac & Cheese... l was asking my Mother for Boeuf Bourguignon with a French accent nevertheless.
Thank you, I sincerely enjoyed your video.
Wonderful anecdote - thanks for sharing it
I bet you do drag now, right?
@@Nunofurdambiznezyou are a f loser.
Such an outstanding woman! Here I am 44 feeling like my life is over! Julia is making me feel revived for my second act! I make her beef bourgeon for my father in law! It’s a show stopper!
As I watching this talk, I found out how remarkable her life both private & professionally thanks somuch Sharon Hudgins good health julia is greatly missed
I was looking for a documentary on Julia Child and was about to search elsewhere when I realized this was a presentation.
But I'm glad I stayed, I've enjoyed it immensely.
Me too.
She was and will always be the
" Grand Lady of cooking."
Thank you Julia Child for your legacy.
I will love you forever.
I love that I came across this because I’m watching the series about her on HBO. She was a fascinating woman. ❤️
This was a WONDERFUL lecture - it never, ever got even close to dull, so it passes the acid test for public speaking with flying colours! Bravo Sharon Hudgins. Granted, you had a fascinating subject in the magical, intolerably charismatic & loveable Julia Child. But someone of lesser talent than you could never have created such a great presentation, that - while inevitably only touching the surface of such a complex personality - still did justice to her glory. Thank you, I was thoroughly entertained while learning a great deal I didn't know, about a great lady. The fact that her immense, international success came in middle age is inspiring to many of us who are no longer in the first flush of youth!
WELL-SAID! i ECHO YOUR SENTIMENTS.
oh! totally agree with you on every word in your comments here !!!!! 😉
I'm guessing her lip smacking didn't grate on your nerves.
@@FreeRadicals305 I wanted to scream...drink some water lady!
@@FreeRadicals305 Tasting food and dipping the spon back in the pot!
Inquisitive to the last. Adventurous, forever a keen study on every aspect of her craft to better learn techniques, applying them to her specialty french cuisine.
Life is almost always like how julia lived it. Picking up bits and pieces, people and stories along the way to better navigate going forward.
When I was a kid me and my friends would walk by her house... she was a star because she was on WGBH TV 2 ... We used to see her if we were lucky... she was the first famous person I ever saw in person... ...My mother was a great cook by the way... Now years later I watch these episodes to hear her voice and enjoy her personality ... it's centering believe it or not.
What I love about Julia is she created all her own opportunities. And by doing this, she led the way for women everywhere. There are no limits. Build your world. As a man I am grateful for women like her. She is my idea of feminism. A total winner.
Her parents supported her quite well in the beginning of her life and didn't her husband support her while she hopped around trying out things she might like to spend her time doing?
She had a lot of money and no kids so not exactly a true self-starter lol...
Always measure. We do! We do!
@@ticketyboo2456 she did say had she had children she'd never had put her efforts in to herself and career. I appreciate and understand that completely. Be well. ✌🤎💫
@@laurenfinucci2780 Read the original comment. It's an insult to true self-starting women. I admire her for her efforts but she was not a true heroine in comparison to those women who changed the world for the better...
I grew up watching her, I always admired how she could cook without looking at what she was doing at times and her voice, oh man did it calm me💕
Julia was a lovely woman. The world was lucky to have her. ❤️
thanks for this informative presentation. I also have an envelope of postcards/notes from Julia. We became friendly when I worked at a bookstore and we carried on a correspondence for a number of years. A terrific woman !
I watched her today on CZcams, then came to this, what a fab woman, and so natural, I love the way when she drops food or misses when she flips, she admits it and just carries on regardless. TY for posting

I learned how to cook from Julia Child many years back and got pretty good at it (he says immodestly). She was inspirational and such a compelling teacher her influence has lasted with me for more than half a century. She’s a much beloved personality to my family to this very day. Her clarity and directness opened domestic American cooks to being adventuresome trying new ways of cooking.
As a nation we are indebted to her for moving us from our mother’s era of Betty Crocker cooking to cooking tasty, memorable and luscious foods.
Over many years I taught my 3 sons to cook under Julia Child’s guidance and mindfulness. They’re appreciative and their wives are thankful to Julia too.
A fascinating talk - I was disappointed initially but drawn in, and enjoyed this; a new insight for me on Julia Child and her sheer gusto for cooking, life, everything ... and she loved cats too! Love the photo of the cat sitting in the sink while she prepares the chicken. And never mind the food police! Agree wholeheartedly. A very great lady.
Julia it's 2022 and I just bought your two cookbooks, The Art of French Cooking. Thank you and after all of these years, you're still relevant
Me too. Volume 2 arrived today. I hope she knew how much we all adored her.... ADORED. Love you Julia. Watching her show again, free on Tubi
Wow there's a lot of information I didn't know about Julia, in particular her early life. I tend to forget how old she was when she wrote her first book and started on television, so I never really thought about what she was doing before that? This was a wonderful presentation. Thank you!
What a fantastic video!! I have always adored Julia & this presentation touched on the human side of Julia, not just her amazing talents or recipes. Thanks so much for posting it!
Brilliant presentation about a true Lady.
Julie and julia the film brough me here🙏🇮🇪💖
I thought she should have mentioned My Life in France with the other books. (It got a brief mention later.) It’s an excellent memoir which documents her culinary development.
I agree. I just finished it and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I loved this lecture!!!!!!!! I am so glad that I happened upon it today!!!! What a strong and vibrant lady!
Such a great presentation I enjoyed it more than any documentary.
Thank you so much for sharing! I feel so fascinated by Julia! I feel amazed that a woman of her age can was able to to take on such a busy career and accomplish so much! I feel truly inspired by her!
I'm a huge fan of Julia Child, but the picture shown at 9:30 is a picture of Julia & Avis DeVoto (on the left). Avis was married to historian Bernard DeVoto who lived in Cambridge. In 1953 he published an article about kitchen knives in his Harper's column. Julia read the article & loved it so much she sent him a few knives. Avis responded to the letter and a correspondence began between Julia & Avis, with Avis eventually working for Knopf publishing & was instrumental in getting the contract for Julia's cookbook. The photo was taken in 1956, Bernard had recently passed away & the Childs paid for Avis to visit them in Europe. She & Julia went to the Cordon Bleu to help Chef Bugnard (her favorite chef) prepare for his class and to work on the cookbook. Avis was thrilled to be part of it all. Please read the book, "As Always, Julia," with has all the letter sent back and forth for 8 years, while the Childs went from Paris to Marseille to Plittersdorf to DC to Oslo & finally retiring in Cambridge (Avis helped them find the home on Irving Street). You can see for yourself all the problems she faced in getting the manuscript published and her life in Europe & experience with Cordon Bleu. Excellent reading!
After seeing this I love her even more!
This is so wonderful !! I love Julia !
Thank you!!! I loved it!!! She was amazing wasn’t she!!!
Such an honour for Julia to meet this woman
Wonderful talk! You've kick started my search for all things Julia!
Thank you for this. Julia Child is definitely near the top of my list of women I’d love to have met.
Thanks for putting up the presentation. I enjoyed it every second.
Amazing, precious woman... God bless her. ❤🙏❤
Wow! You and your husband had such a similar lifestyle with your traveling and other aspects of your lives, no wonder you had such a marvelous conversation.
Wonderful presentation!! Loved hearing all the personal stories and life accomplishments. ❤️
I wish I had been in this crowd ! Amazing presentation thank you
I loved this! What a life!
Sharon, Thankyou for sharing your knowledge of Julia;)
❤️
This is wonderful!
Outstanding video. Well worth watching. Mike
I really enjoyed that, thank you.
I remember reading that article in Stars and Stripes!!
Great lecture! Thank you !
Thank you so much from the UK. X
Loved to see that kitchen in the movie Julie & Julia. Just lovely. ♥️
excellent! Very enjoyable with great photos.
What a great talk! They moved her kitchen! I happened upon “Jamie and Julia” on CZcams and really knew nothing about Julia(I have a simple palate). Now I’m reading all about her!
What a delightful presentation! Almost everything you discussed was new information for me and , for me was a precious discovery. Find away of creating another video, you are incredible!
I cook from her books. To this day her pie crust is my go to. Of course, I whip eggs with a machine and not a hand whisk in a copper bowl, and take other ‘short cuts’ but mastering the art is a constant source for me.
Julia was fluent in French, she spoke French when doing specials in France.
What a wonderful video. What a Fabulous lady. What a marvellous legacy. I have become Fascinated with her.
Julia was so so well rounded.reporters
new show brought me here. not disappointed.
I love her. I'm watching her cooking shows now and learning a lot. They talk about kitchen gagits but she squzeed lemon through a towel.
And a putty scraper from the hardware store to scrape pastry dough off her counter 🥰
The best documentary ever.
I watch her and her British counterpart Fanny Cradock on a daily basis. This coming Saturday I plan on cooking up a Julia recipe for my mother who can be quite the picky eater, I'm nervous and excited! I love watching her and absorbing her wisdom!
Fantastic!! Julia Child was an amazing woman. This is an excellent and informative program on 'Julia Child' the person.
I'm so surprised that her work for the OCC during the war wasn't talked about more. She was asked to help out with a serious problem they were having with the bombs that were on the bottom of the sea. The sharks were curious and all of a sudden . . . BOOM!!!!! She actually developed a recipe to deter fish and sharks away from the explosives. It worked so well that they added it to the life jacket's of the sailors. She actually liked to call it her very first recipe. An amazing woman RIP.
The Bio on the OSS is fantastic! A must read....
Great speaker and presentation
Happy heavenly birthday queen of the kitchen first to do it live on television bon appetit❤
Marvelous presentation! Many thanks.
very interesting because the speaker talks about her meeting with Julia and gives good insight into what moved Julia.
i absolutely luv julia, we have so many things in common. your autobiography of her made me remember my day with raw oysters-i hadn't remembered that in years:) it was down in florida where all of my babies were born. i was turned onto the raw oysters. there was this little raw port bar called north porte raw bar. they came out with this wonderful bumpersticker which read, "shuck 'em, suck 'em, eat 'em raw! i'll never forget that lil gingle, it was hilarious! there's just sooooo many instances we were alike! julia rocks!
I really enjoyed this presentation! Thanks!
i missed her she is awesome chef
Lovely presentation. People who dislike this have no soul.
Lovely presentation allegedly about a hellyweird satanick masonick sellout from an elite family and a high ranking clown in America, and gender inverted male who deliberately fooled the public by masquerading as female entertainment tv chef, allegedly ?
Thank You For THIS; I Love Mrs. Julia Child. I wish I were as lucky as you to have actually meet and sat down and have a intimate chat with Her; she was a Talented & Truly Gracious Lady. I have been Inspired by HER All my Life and I regard her in the Highest Esteem!
She was and is a beautiful marvelous hard working woman
Good slide show look into her life and expereances. And more
Good job. Love Julia Child.
That was very interesting, Ive read a few bios on her and i still learned quite a bit about her that I didn't know.
Blown Away, indeed 😎😇✌️🌎✝️☮️🙏🌍
Wow LOOK at her ancient stove she was using in France! ... . 🙂.. ... I am now even MORE of a fan of Julia Child YES !!!!! ~ Cheers, a 1980s baby, ~ "the" Rev
That is INSPIRING it makes me want to GET ON my animation work on my new, "beast", of a new PC Computer that runs LINUX yes !!!!! "Yes Maamm, it is!!!! .. It is like FULL, Italian, brick oven right? Hahahahaha"
Dear Sharon not only can the L for lady be used to describe beautiful Julia, it can also be used to to describe you, you my dear are obviously obviously an L for lady indeed.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and lovingly amazing presentation xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Well done
Loved when she flipped the mashed potatoes 🥔 on the French Chef.
You just have to have the courage of your convictions
Wow what a woman, very impressive life Julia
I've done beef and broccoli. The trick it's preparation. Thinly sliced beef marinated soy sauce. Cut up fresh broccoli, red pepper.
Well Done:
Wow wish i could have met her
I just did a whole speech of her
Hi Julia
Thankyou for this lovely video re: Julia Child. I never knew about her cancer...I wondered how she got away with smoking?? She didn't. But she beat it!❤
There is no closed captioning? Are you able to add them? I loooove Julia Child.
Thank you. Subtitles have been added
Ms. Sharon. Kindergarten teacher 😎✌️😇🌍🙏
I wouldn't have recognized her from that early photo. She was quite lovely.
I noticed the pearls even as a young woman, same ones all her life
She was Highly blue blood educated. Extremely educated by finest schools and college.
this was wonderful ♡
it really was = fascinating story
Show me this show asap
I always noticed how Julia Child had such an amazingly gorgeous figure!!!!!!! I love the way she dressed...so sophisticated!!!!!! I love her no-nonsense approach to life and cooking. She is my cooking hero!!!!!! She is also a pretty good role model period.
He is MTF. Very easy to see.
Kept my interest, disappointed there were no pictures of Sharon's interview with Julia. Not one snap? With her husband there with a camera?
Yeah, I know right!
I wanted to see!
Julia was raised with a silver spoon in her mouth! ha I love her; she has taught me more about cooking than anyone! She is also Martha Stewart's role model for cooking and it shows!
val Fletcher
The correct idiom is, “Born with a silver spoon in his/her or their mouth.” 😉
I know she became successful later on in life but I’m 28 and a home maker and not a very successful one so I just hope I can have her kind of blessings.
🤗💐RIP💐RIP💐🤗
A lovely presentation, it wasn't her metabolism it was the proper food she ate all her life that kept thin well into old age, it's a crime how fats have been vilified by the packaged food companies, eat plenty of butter and cream and avoid sugars and grains and you'll be thin AND healthy.
Julia at a lot of grains and grain products, breads in particular. She also ate a fair bit of sugar, because she liked cakes and pastries; she just ate them in moderation. You're right about butter not being unhealthy, though, and she ate a lot of it. It's margarine that's bad for you.
Since I started back cooking, and following Julia's techniques, and use whole foods, I have felt soooo much better. From my mood, to being regular. I've always loved to cook, but Julia has helped revive my love for it.
@@seikibrian8641 Her philosophy was you can eat anything you'd like, just do it in moderation, which is true. She hated how the food industry vilified certain foods for their bottom line (profit) and spoke out against it.
@@LinkRocks Yep. And she also stayed pretty active. She especially loved to take long walks.
This was wonderful to listen to. I loved it.
The speaker made a math mistake. Just before the Q&A she described Julie Child as 62 inches tall, but in multiple other areas Julia has always been described as 6 foot 3 inches tall.
Get the torches! Let's go!
@@borderlineiq 😂😂😂😂😂
This was a horrible, inaccurate presentation in many ways. But the speaker DID say Julia was six feet two inches tall, not 62 inches tall. Which she was. Her little sister Dorothy was 6'3".
Great now I have her rap battle with Ramsay stuck in my head lol
The "lady on the left" mentioned at 9.36m is not the then owner of the Cordon Bleu school, but Avis Devoto, wife of the celebrated author and essayist Bernard Devoto, and very close friend, collaborator and confidant of JC. See the book of letters between them called, As Always, Julia. Without Avis Devoto it is doubtful if MTAFC would ever have made it into print. Surprising the lecturer did not know such a basic fact.
