Come along with the L.A. Times and visit Julie in her garden:
JULIE'S GARDEN
To see the video, click the words above, NOT the image below.
The article turned up a few days after Julie's 86th birthday. What a NICE GIFT!!
The announcement that Los Angeles-area fans could buy a copy of the paper and read an interview with Julie brought a lot of comments to Facebook, as did the photo of 86 year-old Julie and her 38 year-old son John.
Julie generally doesn't comment on the worshipful compliments, the attempted jokes, the one-word ejaculations of shock and awe, or: "how do I get invited to the garden," "John is so adorable," "MEOW" etc. That doesn't mean that they aren't appreciated. Some comments do get a "like," and unlike almost all the other stars who use Facebook, if somebody does have an interesting question, it'll get an answer. But if someone posts a meme or a Batman '66 image, it's the thought that counts. That stuff is always good.
No question, "you were the best Catwoman" and courtly salutations ("my lady") and "marry me" never get old. Same with the requests to get a photo signed "To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar" (so it can be sold on eBay?)
Some of the recent comments are below, chosen at random. Consider them "winners," and the prize is being listed. Consolation prizes for others will include a year's supply of Turtle Wax, or a box of Rice-a-Roni the San Francisco Treat.
