In an avant-garde TV ad for Nike shoes starring tennis player Andre Agassi, noted chef Julia Child makes a brief appearance: in a clip from one of her TV shows, she is shown preparing an artichoke. Child, 79, is donating her royalties to the American Institute of Wine and Food, but she wants to make it clear that she is not endorsing Nikes. "I wear New Balance," she says.
