Revision as of 01:12, 6 October 2005
Julie Newmar (16 August 1933 - ) is a Los Angeles born character actress who worked steadily from the early 50's to the late 80's, and less frequently thereafter. Without question, she is most famous for her role as the sultry Catwoman in the cult classic television series Batman, a role she accepted only after learning how enthusiastic her brother and his friends were about the show. She has appeared in various movies and specials about the show over the years since, and occasionally makes convention appearances.
In 2003, she reunited with most of the surviving Batman cast members, including fellow Catwoman Lee Meriwether and Riddler Frank Gorshin, in the TV special Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt. Jason Marsden and Julia Rose played Burt Ward and Newmar, respectively, in 1960's scenes. Jim Jansen, Ray Buktenica, Steve Vinovich, Joel Swetow, Christopher Darga, and Todd Merrill also had roles in the special.
Julie Newmar has come to represent a beautiful but campy aesthetic of the 1960s, as celebrated in the film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.
