I love this 1962 photograph of Julie London and Bobby Troup relaxing at home. Bobby’s spinet piano at the ready, gold records and awards hanging on the paneling, junk on the coffee table, their dog, Sugar, on the sofa, (just like my den’s sofa), bowling trophies on the mantle and a chicken lamp. Julie with a cigarette, wearing jeans and a sweater, and Bobby practicing putts on the carpet. This isn’t an Architectural Digest photo spread, but a real slice of how Julie and Bobby live. It’s completely real.

In this photo, Julie arrives at La Guardia airport in NYC on December 28, 1955. She was promoting her first album, Julie Is Her Name and performing on Perry Como’s December 31st New Year’s Eve show. On January 5th, 1956, she and Bobby Troup opened at Cameo’s Restaurant in New York City. The five photographs below, were taken of Bobby and Julie at The Cameo Restaurant on East 52nd Street. Julie played to packed houses and enchanted the hard-bitten New York music critics.

Caption: The photo is from 1957. Julie and The Four Freshmen were working on a show called Frances Langford Presents (for some reason, though, the show did not air until March, 1959.) Julie is wearing the same outfit as she wears for the cover of her London by Night album. From left to right, Bob Flanigan, Ken Albers, Don Barbour and Ross Barbour. (No one is quite sure about the poodle that Ross is holding.)
Bobby Troup, Julie London and don’t miss Julie’s Dachshund, Patsy, lying next to Bobby.
Photo on the left... no dogs. Photo on the right...two dogs. Clearly, Julie’s singing and Bobby’s piano playing is animal friendly. (Patsy is on the piano stool with Bobby and Sugar is on the floor.)

This is a present-day Google street view photograph of Julie London’s and Bobby Troup’s Encino California home. They built the home in 1959 and were married in the house New Year’s Eve, 1959. They lived in the home for 40 years until their deaths in 1999 and 2000. Julie and Bobby were known to be wonderful hosts to their guests here. Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald were two of the many entertainers to sing in “Julie’s Room”, as the family referred to the oversize family room. In 1960, her album “Julie...at home” was recorded here in “Julie’s Room.”

Caption: July 23, 1958. Some famous Hollywood talent boards an American Airlines Flagship for New York City, en route to San Juan, Puerto Rico, to do a benefit variety show tomorrow night (July 24) for the American Cancer Society. The show, augmented by local talent, will highlight the island governor's ball. From front: Julie London; Bobby Troup; Carol Morris (former Miss Universe); Arthur O'Connell; Ingrid Goude; (former Miss Sweden); Dale Robertson; Constance Moore; John Maschio (producer of the show). Ginger Rogers and Ann Miller join this group in New York City.
Webmaster’s Note: I find this a very nostalgic photo taken back in an age when people “dressed-up” to take an airplane flight. The ladies are all dressed to the nines complete with gloves and the men all wear suits and ties. An aviation buff friend of mine points out the aircraft is a DC7-B and would have taken eight hours to make the trip to Idlewild airport in New York. The red carpet that the passengers are posed on indicates that this was a first class flight back when these aircraft were either all first class, coach or economy.
Further Note: In the photo above, Julie London is three months shy of being 32 years old with two children. The former Miss Sweden, Ingrid Goude, no slouch in the eye candy department, is 21 years old. Carol Morris, the former Miss Universe, is 22 years old. Who did the photographer pose in the front row . . . our long-in-the-tooth Miss Julie. She seems to hold her own in the photo-op department quite well.
