Julie Powell Dies: Author Whose ‘Julie & Julia’ Memoir Was Adapted Into Hit Film Was 49
01.11.2022 - 22:57 / deadline.com
Julie Powell, a chef and blogger whose year-long project to cook each recipe of Julia Child’s groundbreaking cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking became a best-selling memoir that was adapted by Nora Ephron into the hit 2009 film Julie & Julia, died of cardiac arrest Oct. 26 at her home in Upstate New York.

The publisher Little, Brown & Company jumped in to adapt the blog as the book Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen (later, in paperback, Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously).
The memoir would go on to sell more than a million copies and became something of a national phenomenon, so much so that plans to adapt the book into a film drew a roster of A-list talent both in front of and behind the cameras. Writer-director Ephron signed on – it would be her final film; she died in 2012 – and Meryl Streep was cast in the role of Julia Child, with Amy Adams playing Powell. Stanley Tucci co-starred as Child’s husband Paul, and Chris Messina played Eric Powell.
