Julie Hagerty
Julie Hagerty (born June 15, 1955) is an American stage, screen, and television actress and model.
Biography
Early life
Hagerty was born in Cincinnati, Ohio to Jerry Hagerty and Harriet Yuellig, who later divorced. She was signed as a model for Ford Models at age fifteen, and spent her summers modeling in New York City. She moved there in 1972, and worked at her brother's theater group, as well as studied with actor William Hickey.
Career
Hagerty made her off-Broadway debut in 1979, starring in Mutual Benefit Life at her brother's theater, "The Production Company". She continued appearing on stage, including starring in a Broadway version of The House of Blue Leaves. Her first film role was in All That Jazz, but her small part was cut out of the finished film. She was subsequently cast in the parody film, Airplane!, which was released in June 1980 and became one of the most financially successful films of its year, grossing over $80 million domestically.[1] The film was considered the first of the modern parody genre, and established Hagerty as a noted comedic actress.
Hagerty spent the 1980s starring in a number of theatrical films, ranging from the well-reviewed Lost In America to the badly received Beyond Therapy. Her roles often involved a naive or spaced-out character who seems to be unaware of whatever chaos is surrounding her, as exemplified in Airplane! and its sequel. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Hagerty mostly appeared in made-for-television movies or supporting roles in Hollywood films, including a part in the 2005 film, Just Friends.
Private life
Hagerty dated actor/director/writer Albert Brooks, as well as choreographer/director Bob Fosse. She married Peter Burki in 1986, although the couple began divorce proceedings in 1991.
