I just finished reading "Dearie," Bob Spitz' biography of Julia Child.
TIL When Julia retired to Montecito, CA near the end of her life, she and her assistant were booked to fly from Boston Logan to Los Angeles on a morning AA flight -- on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Yes, THAT flight.
Because of a last minute interview request from the Smithsonian, where she had donated her kitchen (see "Julie and Julia,") they rebooked later in the week. And saved her life.
