You don't have to eat only rice cakes to live long. She showed us how to make and enjoy heavenly food -- now she can do it up there. Bon Appetit, Julia!  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-13-2004 11:26 AM                        Julia Child was a one-of-a-kind. If you've never seen Dan Aykroyd's Julia Child sketch on Saturday Night Live (from the 70s), you missed one of the funniest things ever shown on TV.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-13-2004 12:40 PM                     My stomach grieves. I think I will have more butter. I've cooked things I have seen her do on TV. They were tasty too.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

Mel Blanc smoked 2 or 3 packs a day since he was 12, and he lived well into his eighties. (Yeah, I know... 'if he didn't smoke, he might have lived to be 100'... blah-blah-blah.)  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-16-2004 02:06 AM                        Mel Blanc quit, & was involved in several anti-smoking organizations. I met him in the 80s when he was touring a one-man show, & asked him if he regretted ever starting smoking. [BLANC, PANTOMIME] Holds up one finger briefly for attention, reaches into shirt pocket Removes a plastic click-typ pen like those given away for advertising with the names of banks, etc. printed on the side Holds pen up to be read, imprinted there is DON'T SMOKE Revolves the pen slightly to show the next line printed under it FUCK --- He may have bummed a cigarette now & then, though. He was a lot of fun. I went to a restaurant with him & a bunch of radio folks afterwards to eat; that poor waitress got more from that table that night than she probably got in two years of regular customers.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-17-2004 10:44 AM                        "I never did ask her (Julia Child) if this actually did happen on her show, but when she was cooking a duck, supposedly she dropped it and picked it right up and just kind of patted its butt off and said, 'It's fine.'" --Christopher Gross, chef at Christopher's Phoenix It is in a little hallway outside the studio of radio station WBEZ, while waiting to make a midmorning guest spot, that Julia Child is asked if that did happen on her show-if she actually dropped the duck, etc. "I never did," she says in the ever-startled voice that is uniquely her own. "People say, 'But I saw you do that.' All I did once was, I was flipping a potato pancake and it flipped onto the stove and I picked it up and put it back in the pan and I said, 'You're alone in the kitchen' ..."It's interesting when people say, 'I saw you do it.' Or that 'I saw you pick up the bottle of wine and take a swig of it'- which I would never do. On television."  |  IP: Logged
