Julie
Newmar, star of stage, screen and
television, comes by her love of
performing naturally as the daughter
of a Ziegfeld Follies performer.
Julie was a prima ballerina with the
Los Angeles Opera Company before
becoming a staff choreographer at
Universal Studios and made her big
screen debut in the 1952 Bing Crosby
musical Just For You. Julie appeared
in the Broadway and film productions
of Li’l Abner (1956 and ‘59) and The
Marriage-Go-Round (1958 and ‘60);
won a Tony Award for Best Supporting
Actress for The Marriage-Go-Round.
She also had her legs insured
for $1 million and in 1995 made an
appearance in the comedy To Wong
Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie
Newmar. In the most important role
of a lifetime, Julie is caregiver to
her son John, living with Down
syndrome, and recently made public
her own diagnosis with
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Julie
sat down with Editor-in-Chief Gary
Barg to discuss her career,
caregiving and philosophy of life.
Gary Barg: You are a
wonderful caregiver for your son,
John. Can you tell me a little about
it? Julie Newmar: It is easy;
it is natural...continued Take
care Gary Barg According to a new study published in the
February 16, 2006 edition of the New England Journal
of Medicine and sponsored by the National Institutes
of Health, an elderly person’s hospitalization can
affect the healthy spouse’s risk of death...continued
I have learned to learn about the illness. In my case, I
have learned about 11 illnesses, only to find that any one
of them may crop up and have symptoms at any time and last
for a few minutes, a few hours, a few days or even months. I
have learned to take care of myself. The better I take care
of myself, the better care I can give...continued Uprooting an elderly loved
one and moving them into your home is difficult
enough, but add to that the resistance you may
receive, and the caregiving becomes an
all-encompassing activity...continued My husband has been in hospice at home for eight months.
A once-powerful VP of an oil company, he's like an infant in
a high chair now. He can no longer walk or dress himself. Is
it normal to get angry with his constant demands? I have a
caregiver four hours a day every other day, but I feel so
guilty.
