Lost her Appetite for Life
(Mark)
Julia Child, known to millions as Dr. Bleeb in the 1993 cartoon “We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story," has died two days shy of her 92nd birthday. She also cooked a little. Capturing the only two things worthy about the French - wine and cooking - Child was a whirlwind, her love of cooking seared into the minds of PBS viewers who had never seen anything like her before. Although her screen presence was panned by some, she brought an unbridled spirit, a warbling voice and a saucy wit to her show. Contrary to urban legend, she never picked a chicken up off the floor during a show. She did admit to tossing a potato pancake onto the stove and returning it to the pan, offering “if you are cooking alone, who will know?” Prior to her cooking career, Child had been a secretary in the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner to the CIA, making her privy to some of the most sensitive material in the country. She put her training to use on the set when she would kill interns who displeased her in a series of “accidents.”
