	Actually, I just read an article about her (her 90th birthday celebration
just occurred, and her "French Chef" kitchen has been moved to the
Smithsonian), and it quoted her as being 6'2" before hunching.
	She will always be a giant for me, one of the only things my dad and I ever
had in common was watching her show and cooking.
