Julie Newmar

Julie Newmar (born August 16, 1935) as Julia Chalan Newmeyer, a statuesque actress, dancer and singer. She is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 145 pounds, measures 38-23-38, and has an IQ of 135.

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 also danced in Demtrius and the Gladiators (1954).

Her first major role was as one of the brides in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954). 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. In The Marriage-Go-Round (1961) she developed the stock character role of the sexy Swede.

Newmar starred as the sexy Rhoda the Robot in the short-lived cult TV series My Living Doll (1964). She is best known for her recurring role on Batman as the villainous "Catwoman" (portrayed in the final season by Eartha Kitt). 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!.

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.
