Villain of the Month: Julie Gibson
Julie Gibson had a typical career for a supporting player, she had bit parts in A films like Going My Way (1944), Hail the Conquering Hero (1944) and Duffy’s Tavern (1945); while having prominant roles in B movies like Killer Dill (1947), Bowery Buckaroos (1947) and Are You With It (1948).
When her film career started slowing down in the fifties, she moved to TV, appearing on The 20th Century Fox Hour, The Ford Television Theater and Code 3. After her TV work started slowing down too, Gibson moved behind the camera, becoming a dialect adviser on The Outrage (1964) and a dialogue supervisor on The Cool Ones (1967). This lead to her being the dialogue supervisor on the final season of the popular Brian Keith TV sit com Family Affair.
Her only serial was Columbia’s Chick Carter, Detective (1945) where she played the show girl accomplice to night club owner Charlie King, who double crosses him in an insurance scam over a stolen diamond, planning to give it to mobster rival George Meeker instead, but a mix up causes the diamond to disappear and the chase is on.
