Template:Realworld

Julie Newmar (born 16 August 1933; age 90) is a Los Angeles-born character actress who worked steadily from the early 1950s to the late 1980s, and less frequently thereafter. Without question, she is most famous for her role as the sultry Catwoman in the cult classic television series Batman, a role she accepted only after learning how enthusiastic her brother and his friends were about the show. She has appeared in various movies and specials about the show over the years since, and occasionally makes convention appearances.

She appeared on Star Trek in TOS: "Friday's Child" as Eleen. Another of her better known science fiction apperances is as the War Witch Zarina, on the TV series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, along with Sid Haig who played the War Witch's henchman Spirot.

In 2003, she reunited with most of the surviving Batman cast members, including fellow Catwoman Lee Meriwether and Riddler Frank Gorshin, in the TV special Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt. Jason Marsden and Julia Rose played Burt Ward and Newmar, respectively, in 1960s scenes. Jim Jansen, Ray Buktenica, Steve Vinovich, Joel Swetow, Christopher Darga, and Todd Merrill also had roles in the special.

Julie Newmar has come to represent a beautiful but campy aesthetic of the 1960s, as celebrated in the film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.
