Julie is a comic actor and stand-up comedian. Last year, she appeared on Broadway in You Can’t Take It With You, playing the tipsy friend of the family. In Classical Julie, her Birdland stand-up act, she explained why she got a facelift and the difference it’s made in her self-confidence: "When did my face become Paul Giamatti as John Quincy Adams?” she asks rhetorically. “So I did something about it. I got a facelift! Now you can applaud.” In our cover picture, she can’t resist making fun of wind-tunnel facelifts, but, privately, she is a vocal advocate of ‘youthifyin with surgery.’ Much as she approves of plastic surgery, in the film she tries to talk Jackie Hoffman out of it--fearing that Jackie will lose her "character face." Julie also recently starred in a play by Richard Greenberg, The Babylon Line, at Lincoln Center.
