Monday Night at the Movies "Julie and Julia"

Written and directed by Nora Ephron, Julia Child’s story of her start in the cooking profession is intertwined with blogger Julie Powell’s attempt to cook

all 524 recipes in Child’s first book, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.”

Julia Child is played by Meryl
Streep
, Julie Powell by Amy Adams. Ephron wrote the screenplay by combining
Child’s memoir and Powell’s blog, the first time a film had been adapted from a
blog. As a writer Ephron was

nominated for three Oscars. “I try to write parts for women that are as

complicated and interesting as women actually are.”
