Lovely and talented JULIE LONDON happily gave up a successful acting career to marry Jack Webb in 1947.  

But when they separated, she returned to making films.  After their reconciliation, JULIE continued to work occasionally,

 but she was a staunch supporter of Jack's work and career.  "I think I have talent, but Jack has greatness," she said.

Universal sent JULIE to Philadelphia for the

world premiere of

Tap Roots in 1948.

In 1949, Jack had a role in Sword In The Desert . . . .

JULIE clowned with him and Jeff Chandler on the set.

The following year, Jack visited her on the set of

Return of the Frontiersman

JULIE was content with being Jack's wife,

but family times like these

were few and far between

as Jack threw himself into his work.

JULIE and Jack had two daughters, Stacy and Lisa.  Although she accepted an occasional film role, JULIE had no thought of resuming her acting career  . . . .

she was happy being a wife and mother.
