Julie Gibson

Postby RayKelly » Sun Oct 20, 2019 1:25 pm

Julie Gibson, a singer, actress, studio rep and dialogue coach died in her sleep on Oct. 2, 2019 in North Hollywood. She was 106.

Her obituary in The Hollywood Reporter stated Orson Welles had cast Gibson as Helen of Troy in a filmed scene for his theatrical stage production The Unthinking Lobster. It may be in error since the filmed footage shown before Unthinking Lobster was The Miracle of St. Anne

Eartha Kitt played Helen of Troy in the Welles stage production of Time Runs.

The one-act plays Unthinking Lobster and Time Runs were performed together in June 1950.
