Decades before the Cooking Channel or “food celebrities," Julia Child captivated her television viewers with “The French Chef." The woman who brought fine cuisine into the homes of average Americans transformed the way this country thought about cooking and eating. A new biography says the mark she left went well beyond the kitchen. Her biographer describes Julia Child as an early feminist who taught women to find pride in their work and to take charge of their lives. Today would have been Julia Child’s 100th birthday. To talk about her life and legacy, Diane sits down with Bob Spitz, the author of the new biography, “Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child."
