They never met.

Julia had a somewhat adverse reaction to what she heard about Julie's
blog. Julie claimed that Julia was her hero, and she idolized her,
but there are some undercurrents that show Julie wasn't quite so pure
as she wanted people to believe. I think Amy Adams probably protrayed
her in a more pleasant light than she deserved, but I've gotten that
impression from some reviews.

I thought the movie was pretty fab.
