Julia Duffy topless in Night Warning

You probably remember her as Stephanie, the spoiled rich girl who had to work as a maid at Bob Newhart’s inn in rural Vermont. The Newhart series made her face universally recognizable, and earned her seven consecutive Emmy nominations, granting her permanent respectability, but before that gig began she did a topless sex scene in a low-budget 1981 slasher film called Night Warning. (In home media releases it is called “Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker.”)

A Blu-Ray was issued some years ago:

To my knowledge, this was her only nudity in five decades of performing.

The diminutive actress is about 70 now, and has written an autobiographical account of her years in showbiz. Entitled Bad Auditions, her book was published in 2018. The AADA praised its honesty, calling it “an irreverent, light-hearted look into the real world of auditions – the good, the awkward, and the hilariously strange. In it, she regales readers with side-splitting stories of her own ‘bad’ auditions, in order to give fellow performers both insight and hopefully a sense they’re not alone.”

Even though she is still acting in TV and movies, you may not have thought of her in years. Here is what she looked like in a 2022 Christmas movie.

      1. I first posted a link in 2019, then upgraded it to pictures today. The 2019 comments are unaltered.

  1. She has aged incredibly well. I saw an interview of her on Youtube and she looks like a very smart, classy individual. Pretty much the opposite of the characters she used to play.

  2. I get her mixed up with Faith Ford, who was the “Corky Sherwood” character on “Murphy Brown”. I suppose they don’t look that much alike, it’s just been a long time since I’ve seen either show.
