Why would Julia Child be a Thinker, rather than a Feeler?

Hi everyone! I know I know, I'm posting new questions without even getting back to the threads I already have out...I'm sorreeeeee! (ENFPs: start more than you can finish...much? ;D)

Anywho, I was just watching Julia and Julia (<3), and wondering (assuming Meryl Streep's portrayal of Child is on target at least) why, in Jung's name, Julia Child would be considered a Thinker?

She seems to be well-established as an ENTP, but she doesn't seem the detached sort; she seems more like somebody who would be moved by a person's feelings, and would avoid debate favoring tact instead.

Wasn't she a spy?

I don't think feelers would make great spies.

I think of her as an ESTx. Possibly F. But definitely S.

I loved that movie. I really liked how they cast the relationship with Julia Child and her husband (intp?).
