Una Merkel

Una Merkel has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to Motion Pictures, at 6230 Hollywood Boulevard. 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. She died in Los Angeles, California. On November 2, 2004 Newmar was sued by actor James Belushi for the sum of $4 million. Her final film role was in the 1966 Elvis Presley film Spinout. 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". She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Summer and Smoke (1961). She appeared on stage with Anthony Newley in a national tour of "Stop the World I Want to Get Off" and as Lola in Damn Yankees!.

She made a comeback as a middle aged woman playing mothers and maiden aunts, and in 1956 won a Tony Award for her role in The Ponder Heart. She is best known for her recurring role on Batman as the villainous "Catwoman" (portrayed in the final season by Eartha Kitt). Her career went into decline during the 1940s and although she continued working it was in less prestigious productions. Newmar starred as the sexy Rhoda the Robot in the short-lived cult TV series My Living Doll (1964). She played Ann Rutledge in the 1930 film Abraham Lincoln and during the 1930s became a popular second lead in a number of films, usually playing the wisecracking best friend of the heroine. In The Marriage-Go-Round (1961) she developed the stock character role of the sexy Swede. She returned to Hollywood and achieved her greatest success with the advent of "talkies". Her show-stopping 90-second Broadway appearance as "Stupefyin' Jones" in Li'l Abner in 1956 led to a reprise in the 1959 film version.

She appeared in several films during the silent era but spent most of her time in New York working on Broadway. Her first major role was as one of the brides in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954). Born in Covington, Kentucky, Merkel resembled the popular actress Lillian Gish, and her resemblance allowed her to enter films in 1920 as Gish's double in the film Way Down East. She also danced in Demtrius and the Gladiators (1954). Una Merkel (December 10, 1903 – January 2, 1986) was an American film actress. Her first appearances, before she changed her name, were as the "dancer-assassin" in Slaves of Babylon (1953) and as "the gilded girl" in Serpent of the Nile (1953) in which she was clad only in gold paint. She is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 145 pounds, measures 38-23-38, and has an IQ of 135.
