Glen Ellyn Historical Society hosts Julia Child portrayal

On Saturday, Nov. 8, the Glen Ellyn Historical Society welcomes actress and historian Leslie Goddard as she portrays French chef Julia Child.

In the 1960s, thousands tuned in every week to watch Julia Child demonstrate the art of French cooking on television. Goddard brings the iconic French Chef to life in this portrayal. Her husband was a strong part of her life and that relationship is described. Of course, Child’s mishaps while cooking was the comedy everyone who watched her show enjoyed.

It will begin at 2 p.m. at the Glen Ellyn History Center, 800 N. Main St. Admission is $10 or free for members and kids. For information, call (630) 469-1867 and check website at gehs.org.
