Before "Iron Chef," before Rachael Ray, before Emeril Lagasse, there was Julia Child. A 6-foot-2 culinary force of nature, Child used her passion for food, her wit, and her charm to demystify French cuisine for the American masses. Child, who died in 2004, would have celebrated her 100th birthday on Aug. 15. Her memory lives on—vividly—at the Radcliffe Insitute's Schlesinger Library at Harvard.
