"Now I just have to figure out who Julia Child is..."

[SheilaT]

21. She's been off the air for about twenty years now, dead for ten.

Someone in her early thirties would have been about 13 when Julia Child was last regularly on TV. It doesn't take very long for knowledge of someone to be lost to a younger generation.

I recall only rarely, if ever watching Julia Child's show. I wasn't that interested in cooking shows back then. I should perhaps see if they are available on the internet as I do much more cooking these days, although I'm personally not much for complex recipes and techniques.

I have a story I tell about Ella Fitzgerald, but have learned not to bother if the person I want to tell it to is under forty.
