Julie Mendez plays the belly dancing snake charmer, absolutely gorgeous, wonder if she's still with us.
Anthony Soprano Snr - "You don't gotta love me, but you will respect me"
This episode is on ITV 3 now! :)
shareYou're right - what a stunner. Here's something from 2008 I found via Google:
Hey, Julie Mendez is my great Aunt- she doesn't do movies or dancing anymore- she just spends time with her son in their house in england. She's still just as eccentric as always- last time I visited her was 2 years ago though...share
The only thing I remember talking with my family/her about was her snake dance on the show on the buses, but I know she's done a lot more. She definitely had smaller dancing jobs all the time. My mom remembers when she was about 4 or 5, she'd go over to Julie's and be terrified the whole time because of the 2 snakes she had. But thats about all I know for sure- I'll ask my mom and grandparents about it at some point and post what I find out later. I've only really seen her 2ce for a substantial amount of time as she lives in england and I've lived between Canada and the States my whole life. Sorry i'm not more helpful- i'll get some info over the holidays when I'm with my family.
And...
