She was very attractive indeed. I was just a little girl when Welcome Back Kotter was on the airwaves. I loved all the cast and all the goofy school kids. "Hi there." lol. But I thought ole Gabe Kotter out-did himself with the beautiful woman he married. Julie was actually way out of his league, in my very young less than 10 year old opinion, lol, and he was one lucky man to go home every night to her. She was beautiful, yes, and sexy, heck yes, but much more importantly, she was cool. She was a happenin' babe.
All I know is I thought I was going to die when they cancelled the show. It was so good to me as a child. I loved Welcome Back Kotter. I still do. I am weak and lame, I know.
But what I did not know, is she is also well known by my sons, because she played opposite Rick Moranis in the Honey I Shrunk The Kids movies. A huge loss for both parents and children in this one beautiful woman. May she rest in peace.
