Her first major role was as one of the brides in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954).

Newmar starred as the sexy Rhoda the Robot in the short-lived cult TV series My Living Doll (1964).

Newmar's beauty was so legendary that it was even paid tribute in the title of a film, "To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar".

On November 2, 2004 Newmar was sued by actor James Belushi for the sum of $4 million. Belushi claims that Newmar has been harassing him and actively trying to force him to move through such acts as destroying his property, blaring loud music directed at his home and bad-mouthing him to neighbours.
