Julie`s career began in the early 1950s, with roles in “Slaves Of Babylon” (1953) followed by the role as Dorcas in “Seven Brides For Seven Brothers” (1954). Before the 1950s ended she also appeared in “The Rookie” (1959), as Lili Marlene, and in the film “Li`l Abner” (1959), in the role of Stupefyin` Jones.

In the 1960s, Julie continued successfully, as she was selected for quite a number of notable roles, including as Katrin Sveg in “The Marriage-Go-Round” (1961), as Bonnie Brasher in “For Love Or Money” (1963) with Kirk Douglas and Mitzi Gaynor, “My Living Doll” (1964-1965) as Rhoda Miller, and as Catwoman in “Batman” (1965-1966), with Adam West as Batman. She was then cast in the film “The Maltese Bippy” (1969), with Dan Rowan and Dick Martin as leads. In the 1970s, her popularity faded, and she managed to secure only a few film roles, such as in “A Very Missing Person” (1972), “Fools, Females And Fun” (1974), and “Terraces” (1977), while other credits include one-time appearances in several TV series, in “Columbo” (1973), “The Wide World Of Mystery” (1975), and “The Bionic Woman” (1976), among others.

Julie Newmar Quotes

• I’ve had a curious relationship with my doctors. On one hand, they haven’t made much money off of me over the past few decades. But then they tell me to “keep up the good work”, and so I do.
• Whenever I’m stopped on the street, men tell, “Ms. Newmar, did you know that you were my first turn-on?… How old were you?”.
• On seeing a Catwoman tattoo: I’ve seen some interesting flesh… It wasn’t just the Catwoman. It was me.
• On Catwoman fans: It’s an honor — it really is — that something stays for so long with people in the sweet depths of their feelings.
• (July 2008) Today, I walk – but very slowly. My balance is also affected. People might think I’ve had too much to drink, but I never drank, smoked or took drugs my entire life. If I’m out in public, I grab on to some charming, darling fellow who can steady me. I’ve been encouraged by the many men who have offered me their shoulders.
• [interview in Star Trek Magazine, #1, September/October 2006] Star Trek (1966) — oh my goodness, what a following that show has! I get asked about it all the time, and I receive lots of fan mail from it, even though I only did one episode.
• It was so wonderful being on Batman (1966) because you could be nasty and mean, and in the ’50s, women could never — unless you were some ‘B’ picture actress — be mean, bad and nasty. It was so satisfying; I can’t tell you how satisfying it was.
• [on how she got her most famous role, Catwoman on Batman (1966)] I had lived in New York at the time on Beekman Place. I remember it was a weekend, Friday or Saturday, and my brother had come down from Harvard with five or six of his friends, and we were all sitting around the sofa, just chatting away, when the phone rang. I got up and answered it, and it was this agent or someone in Hollywood, who said, “Miss Newmar, would you like to play Catwoman on the Batman series? They are casting it out here.” I was insulted because he said, “It starts Monday.” I said, “What is this?” That’s how television is done: they never know what they are doing until yesterday. Well, my brother leaped off the sofa. I mean he physically levitated and said, “Batman! That’s the favorite show at Harvard. We all quit our classes and quit our studies and run into the TV room and watch this show.” I said, “They want me to play Catwoman.” He said, “Do it!” So I said, “Okay, I’ll do it.”.
• Tell me I’m beautiful, it’s nothing. Tell me I’m intellectual – I know it. Tell me I’m funny and it’s the greatest compliment in the world anyone could give me.
• I’m magnificent! I’m 5′ 11″ and I weigh 135 pounds, and I look like a racehorse.
