Child, who was born Julia Carolyn McWilliams in Pasadena, California on August 15, 1912, was a cooking teacher, author and TV personality who is known for popularizing French cuisine in America thanks in no small part to her 1961 cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The cookbook—which has sold more than 1.5 million copies since it was first published—was an instant critical and commercial success, and remains a seminal work of culinary literature today. Its publishing success led to the production of Child’s first cooking show, The French Chef, in 1963. The show ran nationally for ten years, during which it won both Peabody and Emmy Awards—including the first Primetime Emmy award for an educational program.
