Julie Strain was born in Concord, California, on born February 18, 1962,
Her life changed drastically when, at the age of 11, she was kicked in the head by a horse and suffered total amnesia as a result. After spending many years reconstructing her identity from scratch and enduring an unsatisfying marriage, Strain decided to head for Hollywood at the ripe old age of 28.
Julie Strain reinvented herself at the age of 28 and has since been merchandised on everything from a Zippo lighter to an interactive CD-ROM...and it is all carefully orchestrated and planned, originally by Julie, but now by Julie in tandem with her husband, publisher, producer and co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Kevin Eastman.
One of her first movies was Repossessed with Leslie Nielsen and Linda Blair. She says, "I had two scenes, was paid $100 and had a trailer with my name on the door. It was the Big Time!" She did extra work on Bugsy and The Doors, to name only a couple, as well as a body double for Geena Davis in Thelma and Louise. She laughs, "However, Geena started feeling comfortable with the love scenes with Brad Pitt, so I was paid but never used!"
She had been named Penthouse magazine's 1993 "Pet of the Year," and had seen her likeness reproduced on everything from calendars to coffee mugs.
Although Julie Strain has stuck largely to the B-movie realm, she has made the occasional foray into mainstream film, appearing in such features as Kuffs (1992), Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994), and Beverly Hills Cop III (1994), the last of which billed her simply as "Annihilator Girl." ~ Rebecca Flint, All Movie Guide
