#44: Julia Child and Mr. Rogers Making Spaghetti
There was a time when Julia Child and Mr. Rogers were two of the most wholesome and beloved figures on TV. Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood aired in 1968, making him a prominent figure on TV throughout the 70s and 80s, and even well into the 90s. Chef Julia Child made her first TV appearance in 1963 and has since become one of America’s favorite chefs of all time.

So you can see why this photo from 1974 was a big deal, and why it’s probably still heartwarming and nostalgia-inducing for people who grew up in that decade.
