Fully Vaccinated and Boosted Food Writer Julie Powell, Author of ‘Julie & Julia,' Dead From Cardiac Arrest at 49
2022-11-02
[Gateway] Food writer and author of the hit memoir "Julie and Julia," Julie Powell, has died at 49 from cardiac arrest.

Powell had been tweeting about not feeling well in recent weeks.

"’Julie & Julia’ became an instant classic and it is with gratitude for her unique voice that we will now remember Julie’s dazzling brilliance and originality," Judy Clain, the editor-in-chief of Little, Brown and Co., said in a statement announcing her death.

"We mourn her loss with her husband Eric and her family. We are sending our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved Julie, whether personally or through the deep connections she forged with readers of her memoirs. She was a brilliant writer and a daring, original person and she will not be forgotten."

#13  Regrettably, she probably early voted and will now vote several times again this election cycle.

#12  @#9 - It doesn't appear so as the article mentioned a niece and nephew but no children of her own.

I would argue that COVID does kill some of the right
people. The anti-vaxxers/maskers are dying in legions
But yes. It's a real shame about Kavanaugh.

#2  No sympathy. For her or any others that were stampeded into getting the not-vaccines shots. Ultimately the death toll from the not-vaccines will exceed that of COVID itself.
