A poor man could never afford the glorious Ms. Newmar..
Newmar appeared in classic musicals of the 1950s, starred in her own sitcom, and is famous as the number-one Catwoman. She is a talented actress and dancer, and just about as sexy as a woman can get. She is still a celebrity, more than half a century after her biggest role.
Aside for five iconic seconds of film, when she walked out of the surf in "Dr. No", Andress's career never amounted to much. She was a marginally talented actress who was dubbed in most of her English-speaking roles.
I strongly disagree. Ursula Andress was a bona fide Bond Girl. Newmar just had a bit scene. Andress starred in some classic films such as "Casino Royale" & "Dr No". She was a major figure on the big screen.
Julie Newmar was more a star of theater and Broadway. She never had a leading role in major film. Sure, she's more well known NOW as Catwoman on the Batman tv series.
But this goes to my point. We know Newmar now from Batman reruns. But at the time it was a rather cheesy role on a tv sitcom.
I love Newmar. But when I say "poor man", I'm marking the contrast between a major Hollwyood leading woman who did box office. And Newmar who only had a supporting role in a tv sitcom.
