Trivia: Because of Meryl Streep’s height (5’6″) several camera/set/costume tricks had to be employed to mimic Julia Child’s height (6’2″). Countertops were lowered, Streep wore extra high heels, and forced perspective camera angles were used.
Goofs: Anachronisms: In the final scene, Julia opens a large envelope from her publisher with a copy of her first cookbook inside (published by Knopf, 1961). The envelope is of the Bubble-Wrap variety. Bubble-Wrap itself didn’t receive the US Patent (Number 3,142,599) until July 28, 1964. Envelopes of that type started appearing in the late 70′s.
