The life and legacy of Julia Child is remembered and celebrated in this special "American Masters" program. Child is fondly remembered for introducing French cuisine to American home cooks through her television series — beginning with WGBH's "The French Chef" in 1963 — and books. The film tells two love stories: one between Julia and Paul Child, the other between Julia and French food. It includes photos never before seen, including several from Paul Child's personal archive, granted exclusively to producers.
