Julie Newmar was born August 16th, 1933 in Los Angeles California. I'm too young to have seen her when the Television series Batman was originally aired; however in the 70's the Batman series got rerun a lot, I seem to remember it being on after school and I would watch it almost religiously. At any rate, she was the first 'Catwoman' I ever saw and oh my, did I ever have a thing for her. There was something so mesmerizing about the way she played Catwoman; something so sensual, she seemed to be just dripping sexuality. Even though I wasn't even close to puberty, her sexual charms were not lost on me. The way her costume clinged to and accentuated her hour glass figure certainly had something to do with it as well. Julie Newmar has quite an extensive film resume, but sadly it is nearly all before my time. Not only that, I'm almost positive that any time I'd see her on screen, I'd be viewing her with Catwoman in the back of mind. She just made such an impression on me, when I was at such an impressionable age, that I can't think of Julie Newmar without thinking of Catwoman, and can't think of Catwoman without thinking of Julie Newmar. For me, she put together the perfect portrayal of Catwoman and so I can't see anyone ever surpassing her in that role. In addition to her extensive acting credits, she also writes and runs web page dedicated to that particular portion of her career. julienewmarwrites.com.
