Adept
at both comedy and drama, Julia has starred in Woody Allen's "Hannah
and Her Sisters;" "Soul Man;" National Lampoon's Christmas
Vacation," with Chevy Chase; and "Jack the Bear," with
Danny DeVito. Julia has also starred alongside Jon Lovitz, Elijah
Wood and Jason Alexander in Rob Reiner's "North" for Castle
Rock/Columbia and is the newest "Nice and Easy Girl" for
Clairol.
Born in New York City, Julia was raised in Washington D.C. She became interested
in acting at a very early age and went on to study theater at Northwestern
University. During college, she worked extensively as a member of the Practical
Theater Company, an improvisational group with a large following in the Chicago
area.
Julia's innate
talent and quick timing led her to the world-renowned Second City,
the troupe that launched the careers of such comedy innovators
as John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Bill Murray. While with Second
City, she continued her work with the Practical Theater. It was
during one of their special revue performances, "The Practical
Theater's Golden 50th Anniversary Jubilee," that she was asked
to join the ensemble cast of "Saturday Night Live." During
this period, when the show was in turmoil and cast members came
and went with great frequency, Julia's versatility made her a three-year
veteran.
Julia is married
to writer/actor Brad Hall. The two have known each other since
their college days at Northwestern and were costars on "Saturday
Night Live." They've been married for four years and currently
reside in Los Angeles with their son Henry.
