A Movie in the Making?

Friday August 15, 2008
Middle aged spies meet and fall in love in a far away country. Living and working in Europe, with his love of fine cuisine and encouragement, she learns to love cooking gourmet meals. As a team they create a second career and her great personality captures television audiences. This is Paul and Julia Child's love story.

"... they were determined to maintain what Julia called “that lovely intertwining of life, mind, and soul that a good marriage is.” “We are a team,” she often said. “We do everything together ... Whenever she talked about her career, she said “we,” not “I,” ... Every morning they liked to snuggle in bed together for a half hour after the alarm went off, and at the end of the day, Paul would read aloud from the New Yorker while Julia made dinner. “We are never not together,” Paul said once, contentedly.”
