VITAL STATISTICS
TRIVIA
Born  Julie Anne Smith,  she had to change her name when she registered
with  the  Actor's Guild  as every  variation  of her name seemed to be taken.
She combined her first two names and assumed her father's middle name
as her surname.
Before  she  began  her  acting  career,  she  worked  briefly  as  a part-time
waitress in Boston.
She  grew  up  as  an  Army  brat  who  spent  her early  years in 24 different
places before she attended college.
Julianne's first appearance on screen came as a supporting role on a mini-
series in 1987 called "I'll Take Manhattan".
In  order  to  convincingly  portray  the  role  of a housewife  suffering from an
immune  disorder  in  "Safe",  she  lost  10  pounds off  of  her  already petite
frame.
Her  three-minute  performance as  Harrison Ford's doctor colleague in The
Fugitive  was  enough  to  convince  Steven Spielberg  to cast her  without an
audition in "The Lost World: Jurassic Park".
She reads every script she receives.
She  appeared  naked  from  the  waist  down  while delivering a monologue
in  Robert  Altman's  "Short Cuts".  The  role  was  first  offered  to  Madeleine
Stowe, but she decided she couldn't go through it.


She is left-handed.
