Our pal Adrienne Crew has a lovely interview on the L.A. Weekly’s excellent food blog, Squid Ink, with Julia Child Prud’homme, namesake to her famous great-aunt. Julia the younger, an actress who now lives in Hollywood, grew up in southwest Pasadena and shares memories about visits there with her great-aunt and uncle. If you’ve seen Julie & Julia (and if you haven’t, rush right out), Julia the younger plays the bridge instructor who bores Julia Child.
