The Wonderful Country - 1959
You may wish to check out the interview Julie gave after the release of the movie. During filming she was in 80% of the scenes, but found most of them cut out of the final print. Robert Mitchum was also the producer, i.e. his money made the movie and he featured himself in all the close-up shots. Julie also tells how she was promised the leading role of Cleopatra. 20th Century Fox thought there was just a slim chance that Liz Taylor would be able take the part and Julie London would get the job. For her $1 million Cleopatra salary, Liz cleared her schedule. As a side note, Cleopatra cost $44 million and took in only $26 million in the U.S. It did, however, win four Oscars. Here’s the link to the Julie’s interview on this site.

Webmaster Note: Of all the thousands of photos of Julie on this site, I think this is my personal favorite. I don’t think I’ve found a lovelier photograph of Julie London at any age. A classic American beauty. Do you agree? Let me know your favorite photo.
