Snakes on a Cooking Show
Recently I started watching Julia Child: The French Chef with Kristy. I used to watch it with my dad, so I told her about it, and she absolutely loves it. Except, unlike with my dad, we started at the beginning of the series, which was from around 1962--when she was actually young and not, like, 80.
Man, Young Julia Child could fuck you up!
It's a little known fact that, before she started making a cooking show, young Julia Child and the very young Samuel L. Jackson starred in the pilot of Snakes on a Plane as a network TV miniseries with Julia Child and Jackson as her kid sidekick, and the pilot wasn't picked up for production because viewers found Julia too menacing. Julia went on to be a very successful chef, and Samuel L. Jackson built a career on all he learned about being a scary badass mofo from Julia during the production of said pilot.
So, yeah. Good show, but Julia Child frightens me.
