She played Angelina Jolie’s elegant plantation owner mother, fighting to free their slaves; she’s often remembered as Nina the sexually insatiable environmental revolutionary in the HBO series Dream On; John Leguizamo’s lesbian freedom fighting mother; the existential book editor opposite Sam Neill in John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness but Julie’s favorite incarnation was Regine Dandridge in the horror cult classic Fright Night Part Two.
Julie holds a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology and works part-time as a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified yoga therapist. Her great-grandfather, Jose Manuel (Lico) Jimenez, was a famous classical pianist from Trinidad, Cuba who emigrated to Germany to perform and ended up staying to be Director of Composition at Hamburg Music Conservatory. He is credited for bringing German Lied music back to his home country, Cuba. He won the Franz Liszt Award in Paris. Julie grew up with her great aunt who played Titania in Max Reinhard’s Midsummer Night’s Dream in Berlin and her twin sister, Julie’s grandmother, an obstetric nurse. Julie’s mom is a retired high school Spanish and German teacher and her dad was a prolific poet who worked as a paper salesman. Julie’s only brother is a public health physician, epidemiologist and occupational medicine doctor in Manhattan. Her godmother, blacklisted character actress Lily Valenty, introduced Julie to her first agent, Walter Kohner who immediately booked her as female lead in two European films for Filmverlaug in Berlin. Julie stayed in Europe to star in Basque director, Alfonso Ungria’s film Africa.
As a teenager, Julie worked as the resident choreographer at INTAR Theater in Manhattan when it was under the artistic direction of Cuban-American Max Ferra, choreographing the plays, “Yoruba”, “Espetaculo Valle Inclan” and “The Shoemaker’s Prodigious Wife” by Lorca. At the age of fifteen she danced with a friend’s transvestite theater company in Sheyla Baykal’s Palm Casino Review at the Bouwerie Lane Theater in New York and Gossamer Wings at Theater for a New City on Jane Street in Greenwich Village.
