On Julia

"It's August 1961," as Morash told the story, "and I get a call from a woman I think may be dying from overinhaling Marlboro cigarettes, and she says: 'I will require a hotplate to cook an omelette on your program.' I was the cameraman on Professor P. Alfred Duhamel's program I've Been Reading, and he was about to review Julia's first cookbook. Maybe 4000 people saw her cook her eggs, and maybe six people out of the 4000 wrote letters saying: 'This woman is terrific!' And so Julia came into my life."
