Julie Brown

A woman who wears many hats, funny lady Julie Brown has proved her mettle on television, in feature films, and as a recording artist. As a film actress, she made her film debut in Bloody Birthday (1980). As a screenwriter, she co-penned the script for Earth Girls Are Easy (1989), a film in which she also played a leading role. The film title came from one of Brown's songs. She has starred and directed a few cable comedy specials, notably Showtime's Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful, which won a Cable-Ace Award (she was nominated for four). The show also earned her a Charlie Coffey Writers Guild Award. In 1992, Brown starred in the short-lived Fox comedy sketch series The Edge and had a series on MTV called Just Say Julie (1989-1992). She has also recorded albums and had a couple of minor hits, including "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" and "Cause I'm a Blonde." - Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
