JULIE PARRISH
AFTRA membership signed by actress Julie Parrish in 1963, one year after her first movie appearance in It's Only Money
Document signed "Julie Parrish" twice in blue ink. Blue ink notations in unknown hand. 2 pages, 6x8½, 1 sheet, front and verso. Aug. 1, 1963. Membership form for the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Parrish had a bit role as a college student in The Nutty Professor in 1963. Parrish (1940-2003), born Ruby Joyce Wilbar, got her first movie role, in the Jerry Lewis movie It's Only Money (1962), as a beauty contest prize. Director Frank Tashlin reportedly hadn't approved the beauty contest, but wrote Parrish into an uncredited role anyway because he felt sorry for her. Parrish went on to appear in almost 50 movies and TV shows between 1962 and 1998, often as a perky ingenue and pretty sitcom wife in the 1960s and in more mature parts later in her career. Star Trek fans may recognize Parrish as Miss Piper from the original series two-parter The Menagerie (1966). She was also an outspoken activist for battered women and worked as a full-time counselor at the Haven Hills Shelter for Battered Women in Canoga Park, California. Lightly toned and creased. Staple holes at top edge. Random ink stains. Folded twice and unfolded. Otherwise in fine condition.
