This is the real story behind her famous accent. 👀
Since she made her television debut more than 60 years ago, fans have had questions about Julia Child’s voice and where her accent comes from.
Since Child’s death, there have been several shows and movies inspired by the chef, including the 2009 Oscar-nominated film Julie & Julia and the 2022 HBO Max series, Julia. Sarah Lancashire—who plays Child in Julia—revealed at an HBO & HBO Max Television Critics’ Association panel in 2021 that she didn’t know who Child was until she watched Julie & Julia.
Lancashire also told reporters about why she couldn’t impersonate Child’s voice, even if she tried. “I’m not a mimic. I can’t impersonate. And, also, she did have this extraordinarily complex vocal change, which I don’t share with her. And, therefore that, unfortunately, wasn’t an in for me. I had to find something which worked in parallel and was comfortable,” she said. “But really, I spent many, many hours just watching her.
