Who played Julie's stunt double?

Post by Johnny Hamm »

Hello Barfriends, I came across this photo today but haven't had any success finding who the double was. Anyone have any idea? Just curious as I'd never seen this before. Thanks, JL

According to paperwork from Hot Off The Griddle/The Cat And The Fiddle, Julie's double was Marilyn Watson. I would assume that is Watson in that photo.

Full picture. Her name comes up on searches in a few spots.

They look very similar. Too bad Marilyn Watson isn't wearing a catsuit so we could really see how similar they look.

She resembles a young Diane Keaton to me. I'm guessing she played Catwoman in the Dr. Cassandra episode. Which would make her the 4th Catwoman. :)

Anyone have a contact for Ms. Watson who could ask her about that? She's certainly almost as statuesque - er, tall - as Julie.

Here you go, dell:

This misguided blogger thinks it's Newmar, but clearly it is Watson.

Thanks again for all the replies! ;) One more question, When searching for Marilyn Watson where did you look? I've done several searches tonight and once again not coming up with anything. Thanks

I just grabbed the first pic that came up. Can't remember the exact criteria I used. Probably both their names plus double, stunt, etc. The picture I found is from an article in Huffington Post about actors and actresses with their stunt doubles.

I grabbed it initially because I thought it was just the full version of your cropped picture. Afterwards, I looked at them both more closely - and the picture as well ;-)

it's not the same picture. They're two from a series. Haven't found the rest. I'll poke around some more eventually. Might take a bit of detective work to find out who the photographer was.

Thanks TP-6597...I appreciate the info. I've typed in actress, stunt double, etc. with no luck so I'm glad you were able to shed a bit of light on the mystery. ;)

One more and maybe a lead.

Richard Hewett did a series of photos for Look Magazine back in the 60s, all behind-the-scenes pics. I did some searching and a ton of Batman pictures come up. It's possible he was the photographer of the Marilyn picture, but I can't say for sure. I'll continue the detective work.

Found this variant;

Gorgeous.

Link to a Flichr page, possibly hers. Much better and higher-res versions of the above picture and a few more.
