===Television work=== [[File:Julie Newmar Catwoman Batman 1966.JPG|thumb|right|190px|Newmar as [[Catwoman]] (1966)]] Newmar's fame stems mainly from her television appearances. Her statuesque form and height made her a larger-than-life sex symbol, most often cast as a temptress or Amazonian beauty, including an early appearance in a sexy maid costume in ''[[The Phil Silvers Show]]''. She starred as Rhoda the Robot in the television series ''[[My Living Doll]]'' (1964–1965), and is known for her recurring role in the 1960s television series ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' as the villainess Catwoman. ([[Lee Meriwether]] played Catwoman in the [[Batman (1966 film)|1966 feature film]], and [[Eartha Kitt]] portrayed Catwoman in the series' final season.) Newmar modified her Catwoman costume—now in the [[Smithsonian Institution]]—and placed the belt at the hips instead of the waist to emphasize her [[hourglass figure]].<ref name="moore20110124">{{cite news |last=Moore |first=Booth |title=Catching up with the original Catwoman, Julie Newmar |url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/alltherage/2011/01/catching-up-with-the-original-catwoman-julie-newmar.html#more |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=January 24, 2011 |access-date=November 24, 2016}}</ref> In 1962, Newmar appeared twice as the motorcycle-riding, free-spirited heiress Vicki Russell in ''[[Route 66 (TV series)|Route 66]]'', filmed in [[Tucson, Arizona|Tucson]] ("How Much a Pound Is Albatross") and in [[Tennessee]] ("Give the Old Cat a Tender Mouse"). She guest-starred in ''[[The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|The Twilight Zone]]'' as the devil in "[[Of Late I Think of Cliffordville]]", ''[[F Troop]]'' ("Yellow Bird" in 1966) as a girl kidnapped as a child and raised by Native Americans, ''[[Bewitched]]'' ("The Eight-Year Itch Witch" in 1971) as a cat named Ophelia given human form, ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies]]'' as a Swedish actress who stays with the Clampetts to learn their accents and mannerisms for a role, and ''[[Get Smart]]'' as a double agent, posing as a maid, assigned to Maxwell Smart's apartment. In 1967, she guest-starred as April Conquest in an episode of ''[[The Monkees (TV series)|The Monkees]]'' ("Monkees Get Out More Dirt", season 1, episode 29), in which the main characters all fall in love with her, and played the pregnant Capellan princess, Eleen, in the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' episode "[[Friday's Child (Star Trek: The Original Series)|Friday's Child]]". In 1969, she played a hit woman in the ''[[It Takes a Thief (1968 TV series)|It Takes a Thief]]'' episode "The Funeral is on Mundy" with [[Robert Wagner]]. In 1983, she reprised the hit-woman role in ''[[Hart to Hart]]'', Wagner's later television series, in the episode "A Change of Hart". In the 1970s she had guest roles in ''[[Columbo]]'' and ''[[The Bionic Woman]]''.
