Chatting With Cat Woman

I was able to meet one of Hollywood's great beauties this afternoon, Julie Newmar. Ms Newmar was giving a talk in a hair salon in the Fairfax neighborhood in Los Angeles. We arrived a little early for the talk and ran into Ms. Newmar in the stylist's chair. She welcomed us in and asked us to sit down. Her stylist worked on her hair and she just held court. She is absolutely charming and witty. We discussed her hair and how she was so happy with the color and how it is finally natural. 
Her talk was about beauty and being beautiful. Something she, in her 80's, clearly knows something about. When her talk was over she opened the floor to questions. many were of course about Batman and being Cat Woman. She also spoke about working on "To Wong Foo, Thank you Julie Newmar" and how when she heard of the movie she wanted to see the script and was eventually given a cameo in the film. I was able to ask her about one of my favorite of her roles, that of Rhoda the robot on the sitcom "My Living Doll". She was clearly pleased to be able to talk about playing Rhoda and how she got into character. She said it was one of her most difficult roles. 
Julie Newmar is a delightful woman and it was an honor to be able to have a private chat with her.
