With her doe eyes and haunted, haunting expression, Julia Campbell is a natural screen beauty. But acting was not her first love, and had scoliosis not ended her ballet career, Julia may never have joined the cast of Ryan's Hope in 1984. A commercial she did for the fast food chain Jack in the Box got Julia a role in Women in Prison, a short-lived sitcom on the fledgling FOX network in 1987. Since then she has become a familiar face on television, appearing on shows like Herman’s Head, Seinfeld—where she played the “sentence-finisher”—Judging Amy, and Desperate Housewives. In 1998 Julia played Miriam “Muffy” Blackstone-Nichols in Poodle Springs, a made-for-TV adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s The Maltese Falcon that gives us a peek at Julia’s mam-bells.
