Why Julie Didn't Do the Feature

[Bob Furmanek]

For years I've heard the reason that Julie didn't do the movie was because of a prior commitment for another film. Check out this mention in Variety. What do you think?

I've checked her schedule for that period in May/June 1966 and she also pulled out of a film called "Don't Make Waves" with Tony Curtis which began filming on July 6.

Yup chronic back injury was what she told me, she said it's often reported that she was off filming but that was incorrect.

Thanks, another myth bites the dust!

Julie began shooting in Oregon for MacKenna's Gold on May 16, 1967 and filming of the third season commenced on July 5, 1967.

Eartha Kitt was announced for the show on June 14, 1967.

Good call on the movie, Bob. Great info.

As for Julie's absence in season 3, it's still up for debate. Despite what that Mackenna's sked might say, she filmed her Star Trek ep in late May:

As Dr. Shimel pointed out last year, the filming of Eartha's Batman eps was held up because she, too, suffered a back injury.

Still, Julie wasn't tied up for the whole season of Batman shooting. She could have appeared at some point, had she chosen to do so.

I have a question.When did she guest star on The Monkees?

Newmar's episode -- "Monkees Get Out More Dirt" --aired April 3, 1967.

Her Monkees appearance is mentioned in Variety on January 27, 1967. It's not clear if that's when the contract was signed or when it began filming.

The Star Trek appearance is mentioned on May 22, 1967.

Two other Batman villains were featured in McKenna's Gold.

Name the actor and the villain they played. Also, you can't use google or imdb.

Burgess & Eli. Where's my No=Prize?

Sorry, Pengy & Mr. Freeze were the villains names...

[svl]

For extra points, name another TV icon from that period (their show ended a little after Bats began) who also appeared in the film...

Missed opportunity in the second season where they were getting two villains teaming up on a steady basis. No one thought of writing a script teaming Julie Newmar's Catwoman with the Joker or Penguin. I could only imagine a two-parter with that pairing as a kid watching the show in reruns because it never came to pass.
