She was 91 years old, active until the end and died peacefully in her
sleep. By all accounts, she was a witty, kind, unpretentious person
who charmed everyone she met.

Gene Burns spoke of her in a radio interview Friday. They go back many
years as friends. He was sitting next to her at an affair in the Napa
Valley, and things were getting boring. Julia was wearing a Cashmere
sweater, and Burns told her about a Cashmere outlet he had seen in
Umbria, Italy.

"She plucked at her sweater sleeve, and told me with a devilish twinkle
in her eyes, 'Costco - $49.95!'. I told her, 'Julia, you didn't buy that
at Costco!' 'I most certainly did - and let me tell you, they have very
good hot dogs, too!'"
