Yeah- when I closed my eyes (as Brook describes) and heard "Julia's" voice (from Meryl's lips) I almost cried like a baby!
I just finished reading this book last night and really look forward to seeing the movie. Why does it always seem Meryl Streep always does these characters with the accents? It bugs me most of the time, but actually Julia was kind of a character so I think Streep's probably going to be a great choice. No disrespect to Julia of course, she's great.
You're right, chefneo...
Meryl often seems cast for parts w/ accents and "strange" vocals... and Julia indeed had an unusual voice! Like many cooks- Julia is my number-one HERO/IDOL/DIVA! I miss her terribly, too...

Just a reminder to all interested parties- this movie finally hits theaters Aug. 7!
On page #26 of the Aug. "Country Living" magazine is a tiny l'il piece on the magic of obtaining artifacts for recreating julia's famous kitchen for the movie- interesting!
There's a great pic- and it's short enuf to read it right in the grocery-store check-out line and quick put-back without having to even buy the mag!

Ya know Kev they say great minds think alike, I do the same thing as you and leaf thru the mag.'s as I wait in the cashiers line, being the speed reader that I am (NO KIDDING) I usually get alot of reading in, and especially at Wal-Mart where they simply refuse to hire enough help...not that I shop there that often, but EVERY TIME I DO IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME>>>>>POOR MANAGEMENT!!!!! But hey think of all the mag.'s I have read for free> hee-hee:D LIFE IS GRAND when you find the good, even amidst the inane!
