Julie Newmar

If, like me, you grew up in the 1960s, I can pretty much guarantee that Julie Newmar was your first crush. As the original, the indelible and the best Catwoman in the high-concept, high camp television series Batman, she shimmied into legend. Earlier this year, we sat down at her home in Brentwood, California to discuss her nine lives.
