	Actors - Julie Bovasso

Julie Bovasso (born August 1, 1930 in Brooklyn, New York; died September 14, 1991 in New York City) was an American actress.

Julia Bovasso was born in Brooklyn, New York to an Italian-American family.

She appeared in many films, including such famous ones as Saturday Night Fever
and Moonstruck
, where she played stereotypical Italian-American matrons.

However, Off-Broadway she wrote and appeared in very avant-garde material, such as Jean Genet's The Maids, for which she won the very first Best Actress Obie (Off-Broadway) Award in the mid-1950s, which was presented to her by Shelley Winters.

She also was known as a writer, with her writing credits including the play Gloria and Esperanza.

In her earlier acting days, she played Rose Corelli Fraser in the short-lived soap opera, From These Roots. She was subsequently fired from that show, due to a disagreement with producers and was replaced.

She died of cancer, aged 61, and was survived by her elderly mother, who lived on Staten Island.
