Julie London on Television

1940s/1950s        1960s        1970s

Julie London's diverse television career spanned over 30 years, from 1945 to 1978. She's perhaps ultimately most famous TV-wise for playing "Nurse Dixie McCall" in the 1972 - 1977 series "Emergency!", but initially made her mark in the '50s and '60s  with her guest appearances in various Westerns, dramas, and variety and talk shows, as well as with her own musical specials. (From the late 1960s through the '70s, her television repertoire also included numerous game-show appearances.)
