And the part of Julia will be played by...

There was a small news item at IMDB that mentioned that there is a new movie about Julia Child starting production. It is/will be based on her life, perhaps a full biopic, and the role of Julia will be played by Joan Cusack. Cusack announced this on Martha Stewart's talk show, and Martha mentioned that she would love to make a cameo appearance in the film about her idol. At the very least, Martha might be able to serve as a technical advisor, since Cusack admits she is not much of a cook.

While I certainly hope that Cusack does a good job, I have a hard time picturing her in the role. I would much rather see a different actress in the role, perhaps someone like Joan Allen, who seems to have a lot more presence than Cusack and might be more compelling as Julia.

a good actress. Joan Cusak would make an interesting
Julia child, she certainly is tall enough to pull of
the physical presence that Julia Child had and she has
a dry sense of humor. It could work but she can't fake
cooking, she'll Martha's help.
