Julie Newmar Channels Catwoman Chic at 91 in Rare LA Outing
Observe Julie Newmar, the 91-year-old who refuses to vanish backstage, casually reminding us all that retirement is just a polite suggestion. On June 5 in Los Angeles, the original Catwoman from the 1966 Batman series made a surprise stop at the legendary Chateau Marmont, slipping into a sleek black trench coat and faux leather leggings that would make even Selina Kyle do a double take. She paired cat-eye sunglasses with a sly grin, stopping traffic—both pedestrian and otherwise—along Sunset Boulevard. Every third sentence someone probably wondered whether she’d inherited anti-aging tips from actual cats. While chatting with a small crowd of fans and flashing a perfectly arched eyebrow, Newmar quipped, “I feel like I’ve stepped straight out of Gotham City,” as if we needed confirmation she still owns the night. Sources confirm she lingered for photos, politely declining repeated offers of kale smoothies and insisting on a classic double-espresso instead—proof that some habits die harder than supervillains. In a brief exchange with People Magazine, she reminisced about shooting fight scenes in impractical footwear and joked that the real drama was her co-stars tripping over capes, not any nefarious schemes. If you’re keeping track, that’s at least two on-set injuries that never made it into the blooper reel. A rep for Dotdash Meredith’s RSS feed noted this marks her first public outing in over six months, which raises one pressing question: What has she been plotting in private? Perhaps the next big Hollywood heist… or just strategizing a nap schedule. Friends say she’s been quietly revising her memoir, hinting at untold stories from an era when TV costumes were less “high-tech” and more “sewing-machine meets duct tape.” Meanwhile, photographers caught her waving goodbye at twilight, silhouette framed by palm trees—an almost poetic echo of her feline past. If the police were scanning Los Angeles for a feline burglar last night, they could stop now; she’s back on the prowl for applause, not loot. Tune out your Netflix marathon and mark your calendars, because when a legend re-emerges this poised, it’s a clue the next headline will be just as deliciously retro. And yes, she still knows how to strike a pose that leaves modern influencers scrambling for their ring lights. Keep an eye peeled: the sequel to this rare appearance might involve fewer leggings and more plot twists. Tune in next time for more wrinkles and questionable life choices.
