Streep, with her most honored actress IN history resume, found a connection TO Child that was instant. ¡°She was a television personality IN THE pre-television age. Before we were used to packaging who these people are that are on our television by committee TO decide if they¡¯re right. She came onto television?already fully formed. She was 50 years old,¡± Streep said AND laughed. ¡°There weren¡¯t any changes made. I can relate TO that.¡± 5543

¡°I wanted THE Julia Child OF this TO BE something that Julie Powell would imagine -- SO that there wouldn¡¯t BE some sense OF THE turn OF THE century, versus THE turn OF THE next century,¡± filmmaker Ephron said OF how her star, Meryl Streep, should play THE chef. 8213
Streep found THE gig on Julie AND Julia a little different than most because OF THE permeation OF Child¡¯s persona on our culture. ¡°She¡¯s SO vivid IN everybody¡¯s mind. You can just call up her size, her shape, her voice, her laugh...her way OF breathing. It is SO familiar TO us --?in a way it¡¯s sort OF like my work was half done,¡± Streep said AND laughed. ¡°I didn¡¯t HAVE TO make anything up. There she was ¨C I just had TO live inside AND discover what animated her. (I had)?to find THE private Julia, at least my own imagined one. I gave myself an OUT --?my Julia is Julie Powell¡¯s idea OF what Julia Child was, not really who she was. But I do wish that I met her IN person.¡± 8921

There is a?narrative that audiences will adore IN Ephron¡¯s script. ¡°I was SO excited by Nora¡¯s adaptation AND THE way she brought you back AND forth between these two stories AND intertwined them," Adams said. "And also as a woman IN her ¡®30s going, 'what now?' I saw IN my ¡®20s, you never think about life when you¡¯re IN your ¡®20s. You¡¯re like, 'there¡¯s life after you turn 30?' That experience was SO meaningful IN my own life.¡± 1098
Julie?and Julia is a story OF two women at its core -- Julia Child most famously, but also Julie Powers with her own fascinating culinary journey TO self-discovery. 7613
As THE two stories are melded across two different centuries, Ephron also found another element OF society that was easy TO contrast on screen. ¡°Letter writing as we know it -- as Julia Child AND her husband practiced it -- banished FOR about THE last 20 years. Remember what it was like when you got a letter from someone AND it was SO intimate? That just went away AND was replaced by email,¡± Ephron said. ¡°Email is not intimate, but weirdly enough, it has caused a whole generation TO BE very comfortable with their voices.¡± 8066
THE actress also hopes that viewers will make THE Julie?and Julia film going experience one TO share with friends. If it sounds like Adams thinks she has a summer event movie, you¡¯re right. 2019

¡°There are men who take great pleasure IN their wives¡¯ success AND IN their wives¡¯ happiness. Paul Child happens TO HAVE BEEN one OF them. Their careers, it¡¯s very interesting IN his specific case, his career was kind OF over AND he was retiring --?when suddenly hers¡¯ burst OUT like a rocket. He was there FOR every second OF it.¡± 8387
Adams tackled THE role OF Powell AND her friends, FOR one, thank her FOR her latest acting experience that has produced more cooking prowess within THE already food-adoring Adams. ¡°I do cook IN real life. I don¡¯t HAVE as much time TO do it as I¡¯d like or BE as adventurous. It tends TO BE pretty basic ¨C chicken, steamed vegetables,¡± Adams said. ¡°But, I do love TO cook AND I love TO cook FOR friends.¡± 1058
