The first and the best.
Six foot and built like a classic 50s/60s bombshell. She was Stupefyin' Jones in Lil Abner (1959), and Dorcas Gailen in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954).

relatively recent (still good) |
This site has some more stills, including a couple of (very mild) nudes from films www.zonafreak.com.ar/ femmes/julie_newmar.htm
My wife actually worked with her in NY Dinner Theater back in the 70s. My wife was in a company doing a production of Guys and Dolls in Westchester and Julie Newmar and Nathan Lane were in another production. Someone important wanted to see the show, but on a Monday night when everybody is off (I think it may have been Damon Runyon's widow, but it ain't my story) and they pulled together a complete cast from both companies.
She said Julie Newmar was really good, very professional, but really haughty. Found out later that she comes from big money family and that the haughtiness comes from that background, not from being a "star."
I was going to ask if Newmar invested well on syndication checks or if Belushi blows his salary at the tracks, but you've answered the question about where her money comes from. Based on career incomes, Newmar should be in a seniors condo on Burton Way and Belushi should be just north of Santa Monica on Alpine.
This is the real Stupefyin' Jones |
I knew she was in "L'il Abner", but could not remember what part she played.
Ah, I recall seeing her on some talk show. She her brother and his roommates at Harvard were
big fans of "Batman" at the time.
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."
