Plus, she rolled her r's when murmuring the word "purrfect" which was the sexiest thing I'd ever heard up to that point.
Newmar had previously been a dancer and actress on Broadway. She had some other roles on TV and in the movies, but Catwoman is the one she's most known for.
After several appearances on the Batman show, Julie's character died by falling in a vat of toxic chemicals in the Batcave. Watching that death-scene at age 10, I cried my eyes out. The tragedy of her demise wrenched my heart right out of my chest.
Today, the real Julie Newmar is 77 years old and healthy. As a dancer, she was always very fit which aided her longevity.
Have you ever heard of her?

ReplyDeleteThe new Stars just don't have it. lol. I will definitely keep you posted on the leopard boots, I hope I will be happy with them once I get them in the mail.I Love me some Wild Shoes : )
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of her ... but wow just look at that hourglass figure ... simply gorgeous. Thanks for sharing :-) Hope your weekend is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've heard of her, and I think she's gorgeous! I've never seen her in action, but I've seen many pics of her as Catwoman--total gurl crush.
ReplyDeleteI think she looks better with dark hair. Glad to hear she's still alive and healthy today!
I agree, Ashley. I first saw Julie with brown hair and always thought that looked better on her: more natural. The blonde hair is too contrived.
ReplyDeleteOf course! I love the classic Batman series! She's also somewhat known to modern audiences because of the movie "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar".
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Sheila, but I wasn't sure how many people know about that cult-classic. You, however, have a deep knowledge of great films!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. She's so gorgeous. Michelle Pfeiffer destroyed that role, and let's not even talk about Halle Berry.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Freeda. Those two didn't even come close.
ReplyDeleteOH!!! DO I remember Julie Newmar. Julie is gorgeous and always carries herself so well. In my opinin, there are only two (2) catwomen to talk about; Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt. However, this is all about Julie. If you grew up with her, as I did, you can never forget her!
