LOS ANGELES (Nov. 6) - James Belushi has sued his next-door neighbor, actress Julie Newmar, accusing her of a "campaign of harassment" to drive him from his home.

In a lawsuit filed Nov. 2, the 50-year-old actor claims Newmar vandalized his estate by destroying a fence and landscaping. He also contends she bad-mouthed him to neighbors and friends, spied on his family and caused a nuisance by playing loud music directed at his backyard.

A telephone number for Newmar, who played Catwoman in the 1960s television series "Batman," was not immediately available. A call to Belushi's lawyers was not returned Saturday night.

The suit seeks an injunction against the actress as well as damages of at least $4 million plus attorneys' fees, saying her actions caused emotional distress and harmed Belushi's reputation and career.

"Newmar has engaged in a malicious and premeditated campaign to prevent and destroy Belushi's quiet peace," the suit says.

I saw a video of him urging people to vote for Kerry!
It was the video of the terrorists that were making out a check to the Kerry campaign. A video of Belushi was playing on a screen in the background, he was urging the support for Kerry.

She's doing OK. And what is the Professor thinking about in that shot? I thought he and Marianne were an item.

Belushi is a Republican.

Gave $500 donations to Dean and Boxer, no others.

She also played Daisy Mae in the movie, "Lil' Abner".

Maybe Beloushi just doesn't understand Hill Billy Belles-Beverly Hill Billy Belles, that is.

The years have been kind. She could have done without the flesh colored bodysuit under the black...or at LEAST covered her hands

Who can get upset about their neighbors playing loud music at home these days, when even the ranchers in west Texas can hear every beat of the music on car sterios, passing by on the highway, ten miles away?

Admit it -- he was *great* in "True Lies"...

Just watched that again last night on tape -- yes he was.

[JimVT]

yup

This is interesting, maybe someone posted it but I haven't read the whole thread:

"[Julie Newmar] Holds three U.S patents: 3,914,799 and 4,003,094 for "Pantyhose with shaping band for Cheeky derriere relief" and 3,935,865 for "Brassiere."

He campaigned for Kerry. Is she a republican? Just wondering did you see an add he made for kerry? Or was it a campaign stop of some sort?

He taped a spot that was shown in that damning tape of Wesley Clark and Richard Holbrook taking money for Kerry from KLA terrorists
