It means that people (like me and anyone else under 40) who are too
young to have had much exposure to Julia Child and her cookbooks have
had their interest peaked by the movie and now they want to find out a
bit more about her... hopefully they'll actually make some of her
recipes. I'm curious now too. I've heard about her and I know she was
famous but I've never seen her cooking show in my life - they didn't
show it in Australia, at least not that I was aware of. We grew up
watching cooking shows on tv because we all enjoyed them, but we never
saw hers...

I have a copy of Celebrity Cooks vol. 1 (1975) autographed by Bruno
Gerussi, the host, Julia Child and Bob Crane to someone named Ingrid.
Found it last year at MacLeod's in Vancouver, a used bookstore which has
been the source of many otherwise unavailable books.

The show ran on CBC for four or five seasons and then in syndication on a
never-ending loop. Guests were mostly well-known anglo-Canadians (no
surprise there) but also included Hermione Gingold, Lynn Redgrave, Frankie
Howerd, Noel Harrison (I remember that episode), Theo Bikel, Donald
Pleasence, Dizzy Gillespie, Judy Carne, and many more.

The Bob Crane signature in itself is quite weird, as whatever episode he
was in was never aired due to his demise under questionable circumstances a
short time before the episode was set to go on the air. According to IMDb,
this would then have been signed in January 1978:

"Actor Bob Crane, of "Hogan's Heroes" fame, taped an episode of this show
in January 1978. The episode was scheduled to air on July 10, 1978, but was
never shown to the public because Crane was found murdered in Scottsdale,
Arizona in June 1978. Reportedly in the show, Bob Crane made numerous jokes
about death, which would have made the episode too eerily prophetic."

What Julia Child was doing there, I have no idea. I suspect they taped a
few shows in a day and she and Bob Crane were most likely guests for that
day, but I cannot find any evidence of her appearance listed on IMDb.
However, the list of episodes is pathetically inadequate. She might have
been doing a promo for her series "Julia Child & Company" starting up that
year. Who knows.

Michel,

Where is MacLeod's? We are going to Vancouver this weekend, partly (we
hope) to see the Rembrandt-Vermeer exhibit and to do some hiking.

If you get local public television you may well start to see some of her
original shows again. I caught a few hours of them not long ago. (Of
course it was during fundraising week so they had to come in every 10
minutes to ask for money.) Did you know Julia donated her kitchen to the
Smithsonian Institution? It's on permanent exhibit and that's saying a lot.

Hehe. Bob Crane. I wonder if he bedded Ingrid as well. You can bet
that that was why he was at whatever event the book got signed at.

W Pender Street, corner of Richards. The place is a sambles at first
glance (stock definitely overflows onto piles on the floor) but you can
make some remarkable finds there, if you take the time to root around.

They have some DVDs out from the show. I checked some out from the
Library. They weren't complete seasons or anything, but a selection of
shows from various years. There were very eary ones including first
season.
